President Trump announced yesterday that FEMA 'now is fully engaged at the highest levels' in fighting the coronavirus pandemic.
, FEMA defines Level 1 as an incident that"due to its severity, size, location, actual or potential impact on public health, welfare, and infrastructure, ... requires an extreme amount of direct Federal assistance."
While stockpiling generators and bottled water, as it does to prepare for natural disasters is likely not to be necessary this time, FEMA's experience in purchasing large quantities of materials should prove helpful. And while the Department of Health and Human Services remains the lead agency in the government's response to the coronavirus, Daniel Kaniewski, the former number two official at FEMA, says that Wednesday's announcement"shifts the operational center of gravity from HHS to FEMA," since he says,"the departments and agencies will send staff to FEMA to coordinate operations.
