Oregon Emergency Management Expects More PPE To Arrive Wednesday

Oregon’s Office of Emergency Management expects to receive 78 pallets of personal protective equipment on Wednesday.  OEM Director Andrew Phelps made the announcement during a media briefing Tuesday afternoon, saying the shipment will come from the federal agency U.S.A.I.D.  He said it will be dispersed to counties and tribes around Oregon.  Phelps said his agency has distributed over a million masks, faceshields, and gowns, and over 1.5 million gloves.  But he added that the supply still doesn’t meet the demand.
