The Silicon Valley Community Foundation launched a Bay Area-wide relief to address damages left by recent storms.
MOUNTAIN VIEW — With over a dozen people killed and significant damage in much of the Bay Area from recent storms, the Silicon Valley Community Foundation launched an ongoing Emergency and Disaster Relief fund to support long-term storm recovery efforts on Thursday.
“The incessant disasters pummeling our communities these past few years — from COVID and wildfires to now the devastating atmospheric rivers — have shown us that communities facing existing inequities are always the ones most disproportionately affected by catastrophic events,” said Nicole Taylor, president and CEO of Silicon Valley Community Foundation.
The fund will help to provide ongoing, flexible resources for the foundation to respond to communities’ immediate needs in times of emergency as well as to assist in building community resilience and be prepared to act quickly when future disasters occur, wherever in the region. Relief and response for San Mateo and Santa Clara counties, the core counties SVCF serves, are prioritized through this fund. The eight other Bay Area counties that will also be served include Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, Napa, San Francisco, Santa Cruz, Solano and Sonoma.
