Initial Assessment Report
FEMA’s Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) Initial Assessment Report evaluates FEMA’s COVID-19 response operations. The report identifies key findings and provides targeted recommendations.
Data Sources
Community Mitigation Decision Support Tool
This tool puts the data for each metric in the President’s Guidelines for Opening Up America Again in one place. Officials can easily view their influenza- and coronavirus-like illnesses, case and death data, as well as a range of information on hospital capacity to determine whether community mitigation should be adjusted. Government officials can apply for an account to access.
FEMA's COVID-19 Geospatial Resource Center
FEMA's data hub gives the emergency management community the ability to share authoritative data, maps and apps, as well as enhance situational awareness for all partners responding to COVID-19.
The site includes both public and non-public data. Request access.
Diagnosed Cases
The Center for Disease Control is the best source for the latest data and graphs related to the number of cases reported at the state and national levels.
Testing and Patients
The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) asked hospital administrators across the country to provide daily data reports on testing, capacity and utilization, and patient flows to support the public health response. Read the letter from HHS Secretary Azar to hospital administrators.
Right Help, Right Place, Right Time
FEMA is working with HHS and other partners to ensure limited supplies of critical protective and lifesaving equipment are in the right place, at the right time and in the right quantity. Our priority is getting equipment to areas that have high virus case counts and high fatality rates.
Prioritizing Where Supplies Go
We are working with the Healthcare and Public Health Sector Coordinating Council to prioritize where the federal government and private sector companies distribute critical supplies and equipment.
Federal personnel, healthcare officials and the public health sector use the latest CDC guidance and data to provide expert recommendations on priority locations.
