The funding is intended to reimburse state, local, tribal, and territorial government entities, as well as certain private non-profit organizations, for emergency protective measures taken during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The grant supports activities necessary to save lives, protect public health and safety, and mitigate immediate threats, including debris removal, emergency medical care, medical sheltering, vaccine administration, and community engagement and information dissemination. The Commonwealth of Virginia Department of Emergency Management is the primary recipient and is responsible for managing and distributing sub-awards, such as for a state-managed debris removal program and management costs. This federal funding plays a critical role in enhancing the Commonwealth's emergency response and recovery capabilities.
