WASHINGTON — The whole-of-America response to fighting the COVID-19 pandemic continues, with FEMA logistics experts moving supplies to hard-hit areas, such as Bellevue Hospital in New York, and the agency’s air bridge delivering supplies in Columbus, Ohio, for distribution to the hardest hit areas around the nation.  Meanwhile, National Guardsmen continue helping deliver canned goods and medical supplies where needed. 

Under the White House Coronavirus Task Force's direction, FEMA, HHS and our federal partners are working with state, local, tribal and territorial governments to execute a whole-of-America response to fight the COVID-19 pandemic and protect the public. FEMA has obligated more than $3.3 billion in support of these efforts, as federal agencies continue working to meet demands for personal protective equipment.

All 50 states, the District of Columbia, five territories, and 21 tribes are working directly with FEMA under the nationwide emergency declaration for COVID-19.
