OAKLAND, CALIF. — The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA)
approved $1.1 million to reimburse the State of Nevada for the
purchase of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) to prevent the spread
of COVID-19 and protect the health and safety of state, county, and
tribal personnel, healthcare facility workers, and first responders.

Funds covered the acquisition of more than two million pieces of PPE,
including N95 and surgical masks, gloves, face shields, and hand
sanitizer.

The $1.5 million project is financed by $1.1 million from FEMA’s
Public Assistance (PA) program, with non-federal sources paying the
remaining $400,000.

FEMA’s PA program supports recovery from a major disaster by
providing financial assistance for life-saving emergency protective
measures. It is a cost-sharing program that reimburses applicants at
least 75 percent of eligible costs, with the remaining 25 percent
covered by non-federal sources. The federal share is paid directly to
the state, which disburses funds to agencies, local governments, and
certain private nonprofit organizations that incurred costs.
