    Summary

    Emergency Management Performance Grant Program – COVID-19 Supplemental (EMPG-S) assists states, territories, tribes, and local governments with their public health and emergency management activities supporting the prevention of, preparation for, and response to the ongoing COVID-19 public health emergency.


    In general, the priorities under this funding opportunity will address the States' response to the COVID-19 public health emergency. FEMA encourages funding to be used for:

    • Mitigation activities (related to slowing the spread of COVID-19);
    • Integration of emergency management and public health operations;
    • Collection and display of public, private, and governmental data of hospital bed and ventilator capacity and usage;
    • Collection and display of PPE inventories and establishment of burn rates to forecast future needs;
    • Planning for alternate care sites;
    • Identifying all sources to surge medical professionals.

    EMPG-S funding also can be used to assist emergency managers with implementing community lifelines to prevent, prepare for, and respond to the COVID-19 public health emergency. The lifelines concept simplifies incident information to provide decision makers with clearly identified impacts to critical community services and root causes that inform response and recovery actions. 


    Examples of areas eligible for funding under this funding opportunity include, but are not limited to: (1) Data Collection and Analysis; (2) Plan Development; (3) Jurisdictional Recovery; (4) Information Sharing; (5) Emergency Public Information and Warning and Risk Communication; (6) Logistics and Supply Chain Management; and (7) Development of Distribution Management Plans.
