Quoting eye witnesses would be considered plagiarism at worst and discounted from the page count at best. Read the official story, below, and then write down what you remember of the story in your own words. Don't cut and paste, your teacher knows your writing voice and if it doesn't sound like you they will find the quotes in google in two minutes.
It's only a page and a half, I couldn't even begin to describe the quake in that much.
Make a plan, start with the geophysics of the fault, what part gave way, how much it moved. Then follow the damage south. Talk about how the fires started and how they tried to put them out and the damage that caused.
By the time you get on to refugees living in huts and the marina district being built on the land fill with the problems that caused later I think you should have yourself a few pages.

Why don't you include some eyewitness accounts? You wouldn't have to write any more text, just add the accounts with an introductory sentence.
See link below.
