COVID-19

Since the outbreak of the novel COVID-19 virus (coronavirus), FEMA has been working with the White House Coronavirus Task Force, Department of Health and Human Services as well as state, local and tribal territorial governments. They have also provided a hub for information to help people avoid rumors and misinformation.

FEMA has also provided a shipment of personal protective equipment to Oregon which included over 1 million gloves, 10 thousand face shields, 400 thousand N95 masks, and 50 thousand surgical masks. They recognize there is a global shortage, but provided Oregon with the equipment as the state is working to replenish supplies for health care workers and first responders elsewhere.
