Alameda County Disaster Relief Fund: Orlando Shootings
The Board of Supervisors and County Administrator extend our sincere condolences and support to those affected by the horrific mass shootings at the Pulse nightclub in Orlando, Florida on June 12, 2016.
We are reactivating the Alameda County Disaster Relief Fund now to enable Alameda County employees and people in the community to voluntarily make cash and/or online donations to benefit the victims of the shootings – the families of the 49 people who were killed and over 50 people who were injured.
Activation of the Disaster Relief Fund enables Alameda County employees and people in the community to contribute cash donations to help people affected by the shootings – the families of those killed and those recovering from their injuries. County employees may also have the option to donate up to 5 days of their accrued vacation time, compensatory time and/or holiday in-lieu time.
The Alameda County Disaster Relief Fund was initially established in response to the September 11, 2001 attacks in the United States and has been reactivated for the South Asia Tsunami/Earthquake in 2004, Hurricane Katrina in 2005, earthquakes in Haiti and Chile in 2010, the Northern Japan Earthquake/Tsunami in 2011, Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines in 2013, the massive earthquake in Nepal and shootings in San Bernardino in 2015.
Alameda County intends for all contributions to the Disaster Relief Fund to go directly to victims and families affected by the shootings.
Thank you for your leadership, generosity and support.
