Wildfire Emergency Resources for Farmers and Ranchers
Alameda County RCD Staff and Board of Directors wish to extend our continued support for those affected by the SCU Fire Complex and the surrounding wildfires in Alameda County. The NRCS and ACRCD deeply value our partnerships with landowners and want to be of assistance for any needs you may have. We understand how overwhelming certain circumstances can be, we hope this compilation of resources including critical deadlines will be of value in helping landowners successfully apply for wildfire emergency related assistance. Please visit the Disaster Assistance Discovery Tool specifically targeted to ranching, agricultural, and open-space issues. The tool walks producers through five questions that generate personalized results identifying which USDA disaster assistance programs can help them recover from a natural disaster. We hope our information and support will help all of those affected to recover from the wildfires as quickly and safely as possible.

Alameda County Conservation Partnership
The Alameda County Resource Conservation District (ACRCD) and the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) collaborate as the Conservation Partnership to serve as the lead conservation agency in Alameda County. We provide technical and educational services for natural resource conservation and agriculture enhancement. The Partnership collaborates with many partners including private landowners, local, state and federal agencies and other organizations to develop and implement various conservation and agricultural strategies. The ACRCD also works closely, on a fee for service basis, with public agencies and private sector companies, to help achieve conservation based goals.
