The Alameda County Board of Supervisors periodically activates the Disaster Relief Fund. It was initially established in response to September 11, 2001. It has been reactivated numerous times in response to tragedies including Hurricane Katrina in 2005, the Northern Japan Earthquake/Tsunami in 2011, the fatal Ghost Ship warehouse fire in Oakland in 2016, the 2018 California wildfires, and most recently during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Our goal with ACGOV Cares is to highlight our peers, as well as encourage those in the public to join us in our efforts by offering platforms for volunteering and donating. https://acgovcares.alamedacountyca.gov/
