The larger award provides $2.33 million at a 100% federal cost share to the Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Management (HSEM) for emergency protective measures carried out between July 2020 and December 2021. This includes support for the Emergency Operations Center, COVID-19 testing and screening, personal protective equipment and medical supplies, temporary staging areas at community testing sites, transportation of critical medical equipment and supplies to warehouses, hospitals and testing locations, community outreach, logistics, procurement, inventory management, personnel support, and cleaning services. This award covers an eligible cost overrun beyond the $1.48 million previously awarded by FEMA, bringing the total eligible cost for that project to approximately $3.82 million. A separate $372,783.19 project provides $335,504.87 in FEMA funding, with the federal government covering 90% of the eligible costs, for additional emergency measures to help prevent the spread of COVID-19. Together, these awards provide approximately $2.67 million in new FEMA funding to support the CNMI’s pandemic response. | 1 | 2026-09-29T11:07:12Z | 2026-09-29T11:08:49Z |
