Masks and Other PPE

Posted on May 5, 2020 by Rep. Steven Smith

Someone asked about the efforts to get more PPE into the state. Governor Sununu has been negotiating procurement, and this is from the feds:

The Trump Administration is coordinating Project Air Bridge, a coordinated public-private partnership designed to expedite the movement of critical supplies from other countries to the United States. The below table shows recently delivered supplies to New Hampshire through various sources, including Project Air Bridge, to bolster private sector supply chains.
ppeupdate
– In addition to the Project Air Bridge efforts, as of April 28, FEMA delivered 85,779 N-95 masks, 203,849 surgical masks, 35,056 medical gowns, 1,813 coveralls, 42,696 face shields, and 217,613 gloves from the Strategic National Stockpile to New Hampshire
– As of April 28, FEMA obligated $17.5 M for COVID-19 response efforts in New Hampshire and will continue to obligate additional dollars per validated State requests
