Many buildings were destroyed and some had permanent water and structural damage. In response to the devastation, the City Council adopted a resolution on October 11, 2005, in support of Long Beach, Mississippi and a campaign was launched.
The campaign, Long Beach Cares: Long Beach, CA, Helping Long Beach, MS, was initiated to raise awareness and funds to assist Long Beach, Mississippi.

In order to accept the pledge, the Board of Supervisors' Social Program Agreement needs to be executed by the City. The funds received from Supervisor Don Knabe will be forwarded to Long Beach, Mississippi.
