things outside their homes. all of it destroyed beyond repair ace result of sunday's shaker there are dump sites throughout the city of napa, the city says, using napa high as a site was probably a mistake since classes are set to resume today. all but one napa unified campus will resume classes. everywhere else is safe. >> some of the minor repairs include replacing windows that have broken, some cabinets have fallen that need to be fastened to the walls. there are some cracks, they're not structural or dangerous cracks but cracks in sidewalks and things like that. >> reporter: so the first thing students, as we mentioned, sam, will participate in earthquake drills today. as i mentioned, it's a refresher clasp they'll be practicing taking cover and evacuating in

case of additional aftershocks. only school left not open today is stone bridge charter school. they will be back in session next week. they found significant cracks in the walls and the sidewalks there. live in napa, nanette miranda for "today in the bay." >> debris-filled parking lot there. thank you. bob redell off to napa with a look at relief efforts that are under way. good morning, bob. >> reporter: good morning to you, laura. here in the downtown area, you can see some of the most significant, visual damage from sunday's 6.0 shaker, you can see historic structures made of brick and stone crumbled. those businesses will take a while to recover. you know it's the same situation for many homeowners who also had their lives turned upside down, like crystal, who moved into a red cross shelter. she found staying in her house was too stressful. all of her belongings were thrown about. yesterday's 3.9 aftershock, 24 hours ago, that tossed her bed about the room, that was her

final straw. she left home, doesn't know when she's going to return. there are others who are like her, red cross is serving several hundred people throughout the area and the salvation army, deployment of five canteen trucks. a sense of the demand, they serve 1000 hot meals on sunday. yesterday it was double that. 12-year-old joseph newhouse relying on their kindness and generosity of two pg&e workers who visited his home, he says he'll never forget. >> said, do you guys want anything from walmart? and i said, yes. and they bought me a remote control helicopter, like $50, and an ipod and a bunch of clothes. all of the clothes i'm wearing now is from them in approaching 400 people we've assisted throughout the community. we continue to do damage assessment to find out what communities are hit and needed. we found out there are opening a shelter in vallejo.
