as the fema administrator it's been an hawn door work along side the dedicated men and women of fema. i want to acknowledge our many partners for their commitment to the nation. this response continues to be one locally executed, state managed and federally supported. when president trump made the unprecedented decision to declare a nationwide emergency on march 13th the entire team has worked tear lassly. for the first time in american history we have a major disaster declaration in every state, territory, the district of columbia and one tribe concurrently. today fema is responding to 104 active disasters. the magnitude of this pandemic has required us to reexamine our past practices, keep the risk to our staff as low as possible while refusing to fail in meeting our mission. covid 189 has been a global crisis with most countries competing where for the exact same medical supplies. every government across the nation has been competing for the same resources such as ppe. to complicate matters furthermost ppe is made in asia where the virus significantly slowed manufacturing. during n

the grant director of fema makes an announcement. let me go back, congress approved the funding for that. you are our heroes quite frankly. it is important once that formed -- once that funding is done, the grant director announces in and there's a public announcement. there's a window of time when fired apartment can apply. so -- when fire departments can apply. there's an application online and fire departments will submit the application online including the narrative and why they need to grant. that customer compete rest system where, i do not -- a computerized system and those elected to move forward our peer-reviewed. then the awards are made by the grant director. >> thank you and from the firefighters perspective, mr. mcgee? the process for applying to the afg grant. you, congressman, i will defer to chief ludwig as to the process. we typically get involved when we have the ability to work with our fire administrators on a local basis to help them commit their agreement in writing and we have resources as an organization to h

fire administration through fema.they've worked remarkably well the last 18 years since we've had these programs the in place. the reason that they work so well is that we do peer reviews. in other words, other firefighters actually sit in on the reviews of those grant applications and that has worked amazingly well. we're sort of the experts in this field and it's worked tremendously well. now that they're able to do peer reviews in a remote setting, i think those are going to move fatherly quickly. >> and i'll add from the international association of fire chiefs, we fully support the current afg and safer programs, the way that's been delivered it's a very clear and transparent process. there's no middle agency, middle person. the funds go directly from the federal government to fire departments. there is a very transparent and clear process with that with the peer review process that steve spoke of. and it has been a proven system that has worked for multiple years, 18 years or so, and we support that process whol

this is from the fema document the senator forced into the public view. steadily declining hospitalization rates should reduce ppe usage, but demand in summer -- yeah, they may want to build up their supplies again. they may need to artificially have extra on hand to note re-opening requirements but they're not going to be using ppe anymore, not with coronavirus hospitalizations dropping like we expect them to through the summer. they'll drop off, right? fema is assuming covid hospitalizations are going to drop like a stone, at least through summer, june and july, because that's what everybody is saying tis going to happen in te summer, it's going to go away. if that's the hope, i understand the hope. but if that's the plan for the federal emergency management agency as a country of 300 million plus people, if the plan is to expect hospitalizations to drop because it's summer, if that's the plan, we are in trouble. what's driving the national headlines now about worrying resurgence, worrying case numbers, right? worrying growth and coronavirus and the sig

the second part of the plan is that fema is expecting that things will get better. this is from this fema document that senator hassan has now forced into public view. quote, steadily declining covid hospitalization rates should reduce daily hospital ppe usage. but demand through summer may remain constant as hospitals and states replenish stockpiles and to meet reopening requirements. so, yeah, they may want to build up their supplies again. they may need to artificially have extra on hand in order to meet reopening requirements, but they're not actually going to be using a lot of ppe anymore, not with coronavirus hospitalizations dropping like we expect them to through the summer. they'll drop off, right? i mean fema is assuming that covid hospitalizations are going to drop like a stone through the summer, at least through june and july, because that's what everybody is saying is going to happen in the summer, right? it's just supposed to go away? i mean if that's the hope, i understand the desire to hope for something like that. if that's the plan for the federal

i would be remiss if i did not think bob fenton of fema. the regional director of fema, whose ingenuity, whose entrepreneurial spirit, you talk about the good ones in government. this was one of the past. it was because of his willingness to work with us we created this program and interestingly connecticut is trying to replicate this program. hawaii is trying to replicate this program. now other states are looking to replicate this same program. we are very, very grateful for and i wanted to share that with you at the top of my presentation. as always the purpose for you tuning it was for you to hear the updates on where we are as a state related to covid-19 and the total number of positive cases. the total number of hospitalized and icu cases. let me briefly update you on the current numbers in the state. in the last 24 hours we had 6367 individuals that tested positive for covid-19. we have seen an increase of the total number of positive cases rather consistently over the course of the last two weeks here in the state of california. of

there's no costs that we are assessing related to that partnership with fema in imperial county. we are absorbing the costs there, as well. we recognize the economic costs of what we are arguing for. we recognize economic costs that covid-19 is already impacted on the community. but we recognize now our responsibility to keep people healthy, keep people safe and step up our efforts. so 15 counties overall that we're monitoring very closely. all 58, of course, that we have oversight and continue to monitor numbers 4890 positive tests better than yesterday, a little better than that record number north of 7,000 a few days go but these trend lines in the last seven days over the last 14 days, are disturbing and that's why i cannot impress people more to wear face masks to be vigilant about the spread of the virus. we are entering into a weekend where, so often is the case, people let their guard down continual practice social distancing. if you are going to break with tradition, common sense and you're going to invite your neighbors, friends, extended family members over against the

in order for them to get fema reimbursement, they have to meet certain requirements that the city andcontroller have produced. so in your committee packet, there's a memo issued april 22 by the city administrator that outlines those requirements. they include things like making sure you have an independent estimate, making sure you're using the right contracting procedures, and that type of work, and so all that information is in the committee packet. this ordinance would allow department heads, with the agreement of the city attorney, only to add to these fema requirements to these contracts. so rather than coming back to the board of supervisors to amend each revenue agreements just to add the fema requirements, this would be authorized during the emergency. the department head would have to certify that the expenditures are being made as part of the emergency, and then, the controller and city attorney would be able to seek reimbursement from cal fema and o.e.s. this is already the case for many contracts that don't come before the board, but relative to revenue agreements, the adv

fema official starts apologizing for fema and the federal government sending american nursing homes expired, broken, and inappropriate gear. fema now apologizing to nursing homes for sending them junk they can't use. and this is something we've been hearing from nursing homes who have been puzzling through what to do with the fact. look at her hands. look at the arms. nursing homes have been puzzling to do with the fact that they may not have access to testing, but the federal government has found the time to send them random crap like these poncho thingies that don't have holes to stick your arms through. look at that. fema now apologizing, but that's what the federal government has done for nursing homes. the federal government, the white house, also took it upon itself to issue that executive order mandating that meat processing plants stay open even as local health authorities wanted to shut them down because meat processing plants all over the country were turning out to be super spreader facilities where thousands of people were getting infected with the virus. well, amid lots of ches

fema paid for 75% of the cost. should the state buy the motels and hotels and convert them into permanent housing? in early april the governor launched the program to try to solve two problems, place them into the struggling empty properties to socially distance. room key got mixed reviews with cities pushing back. advocates said too many rooms that were paid for were left vacant. >> the essential number of the hotel rooms are vacant, have never been filled, and many homeless people have not been accepted through the process they set up. as long as there's vacancies we don't understand it. >> reporter: are people in the homeless camps worried about coronavirus? >> yes, they are. yes, they are. they are worried. yes, they are worried. >> reporter: we will carry the governor's press conference live right here. kiet do, kpix 5. >>> people in san francisco's mission bay said they have noticed a lot of homeless tents popping up in the last few weeks, and there's a growing mix of tents, junk, and trash covering the sidew

providing some sort of support and an interesting outcome was that it wasn't clear that fema new where all the doc outages were so they didn't have the initial understanding of what was remaining in thestockpile . fema is good with management and logistics, but they do it for the sorts of supplies they typically rely on for naturaldisasters and such . and this is a very specialized set of requirements that is inherent in that sns so not having thatinformation is like trying to make allocations with blinders on . >> thank you and i'm out of time now and miss burel we will get back to you to get information. i'd like to get your viewpoints aswell but thank you for your testimony . >> senator portman . >> thank you mister chairman. i want to thank you for having the hearing and for our witnesses. this is a critical issue not just with regard to the pandemic but going forward, we need to change our approach. i agree with the chairman that there needs to be a mission that is clearly defined. i also agree and was struck by doctor gerberding's comments about the lack of accountable leadership

a quick update we did announce at the last press conference fema had been in receipt for the federal declaration for the storms of april 22nd, 23rd. just a reminder fema is reviewing that now and we anticipate delivery -- excuse me, we anticipate an answer within the coming weeks for those 11 counties we did request. finally, just as far as the outlook for hurricane season, still barely in hurricane season. looks like we will have a break and the weather should be nice this weekend. as you can tell the temperatures are rising rapidly outside. it's very hot. i want to remind everybody to hydrate when outside, seeking shade during periods of time and a reminder about your vehicles. the heat inside your vehicle rises when you park that car. please do not leave kids and pets inside your vehicles and make note of that and just be aware for the hot temperatures that are coming about. governor, that's all i have for today, sir. >> thank you. questions? >> governor, extending thatexte order although making some amendments it seems as though as the cases and hospitalizations stay steady the r

and members of-- and the homeland security committee will finally today conduct a hearing with the fema administrator for the first time in so long, this crisis has been raging for months. more than eight weeks ago we passed a $3 trillion bill. why is it taking so long to get any oversight at all? but finally, the members of the committee will have the opportunity to press administration officials as to why in the early days of the pandemic with ppp and medical supplies was mashed with so many confusion and delays. and senator blumenthal and i asked information on air bridge. they took the supply chain management project which by most reports is a failure. were aren't we looking at how it went. >> we've loose too many front line, hospital working and personnel to this horrible covid-19 disease. we'll never know how many we lost because we weren't prepared with the necessary protective equipment. the trump administration's should be looked at. and meanwhile, police violence and racial justice that are driving protest across the country and including across the street from the white house

it hasn't been distributed in a comprehensive manner, and i submit that shipments of fema, from femave been a bit late and inadequate. so i can't speak to of the facility, but certainly systemwide there's been a tremendous problem -- even to the extent that they have ceased activities a lot of cases that the state surveyors specifically note that they would only do infections if they had adequate ppe, and oftentimes they recognized recognize that they don't and so as a result they curtailed their activities. >> that's helpful. a large trend, not having enough ppe or still potentially having -- especially in face of the second wave. dr. grabowski, , i wanted to ask you, we know we don't have enough ppe. we know we didn't have it. we still have enough. another area where i've seen pretty widespread consensus here is we don't have enough data, that were struggling to be able to get it. i would love to -- what is it we're missing? >> absolutely. the federal government put a lot of resources into putting together what they thought would be a comprehensive covid database of cases and death

and the homeland security committee will finally today conduct a hearing with the people -- with a fema administrator for the first time in so long. this crisis has been raging for months. more than eight weeks ago we passed a $3 trillion bill. why has it taken so long to have any oversight at all? but finally, members of the committee will have the opportunity to press administration officials as to why in the early days of the pandemic the distribution of p.p.e. and other critical medical supplies was marked about i so much confusion, secrecy, incompetence and delays. in fact senators warren, blumenthal and i formally requested an investigation into project airbridge, the name of the trump administration's fake medical supply chain project which by reports was a failure. why aren't we looking into why that went wrong and how we can correct it? we have lost too many americans, frontline workers, hospital and pledge pen nel to the horrible covid-19 disease. we'll never know how many we lost because we weren't better prepared with the necessary protective equipment. the trump administrat

i want to think credible leadership bob sutton and fema, and therefore their partnership and stewardship and focus on the needs of this county . and i want to think our team, that includes the department of labor, it includes msa and partnerships there . california department of public health that has strike teams down there and edition now to agricultural partners and additional partnerships from state agencies that are now helping support the cause . the cause of mitigating the spread of this virus . that's in the counties . final point . i really want to and of mercy service there's one county in the state where we are providing 100% of the costs related to the emergency response, it's in this county where fema traditionally will pick up 75% of the costs, 25% of the costs, are bored by the state and local government there is no cost, that we are assessing related to that partnership with fema . in imperial county that partnership we are absorbing those costs rather we are observing as well . we recognize the economic costs of what we are arguing for, we recognize economic costs that c

we are coordinating with fema county emergency management. as you heard me say before, we are in support of the incident and the incident command system through us forest service for an evacuation of a number of areas. i direct the media to the pios running the incident down about specific locations but essentially the northwest sector of the catalina foothills area in the tucson sector. we had a fire over the thirtieth, and 30 first of may when we lost structures. we've had some experience with getting folks into non-congregant shelter technique but we wouldn't normally use but the covid-19 situation has forced us to do that. thank the red cross and all the groups that step up to help with those things. we pray the structures in fema county with this one. >> thanks, major general. let's talk about our plan going forward. the plan going forward, we will focus on public health and the education campaign around physical distancing, washing your hands, stay home if you are sick and wearing a cloth face covering when you cannot physically distanc

although i'm no longer full time deployed to fema, i'm maintaining my role coordinating testing. to date the nation has performed over 27 million covid-19 tests, averaging about 500,000 tests per day. even without any major technical advances, i estimate the nation will have the capacity to per form between 40 to 50 million tests per month by fall. to address the public health challenges over the past months, we implemented a phased approach to meet the testing needs at each stage of the pandemic, especially now during reopening when the need for testing is the greatest. in early march, hhs and fema developed and implemented 41 community-based drive-through testing sites in locations prioritized by the cdc in collaboration with state and local partners. these sites have tested nearly 30 o 0 /* /- -- 300,000 high risk individuals. this federal program is providing testing at 611 locations in 47 states in the district, 70% of which are in communities with moderate to high social vulnerability. this program has tested over 688,000 individuals. federally qualified health centers serv

we note that we expect that much of that will be offset through fema reimbursement and cares act revenue. but that the expenditures in the current year will largely deplete any cares act funding, leaving very little for the upcoming year. so, you know, this $20 million will just be an additional source for us in next fiscal year, as we continue to spend on covid response. >> supervisor yee: okay. thank you. that helps. >> you're welcome. of course. >> supervisor ronen. >> supervisor ronen: yes, thank you. ashley, can we go back to slide five? >> sure. >> supervisor ronen: make sure that's the right one. >> state legislature budget? >> supervisor ronen: i think so. yes. so this -- so can you get into a little bit more about what the trigger cuts are. >> sure. >> supervisor ronen: and following up on president yee's question, how they filter down to san francisco. >> sure. yeah. i can give you a few examples. there are many cuts that are included here in various degrees of impact on the city. so one cut that is assumed in the trigger reductions to state employees' wages, 10% cut for state

and i'd submit that the shipments of fema have been -- from fema have been a bit late.and inadequate. so i can't speak to every facility, but certainly system wide it's been a tremendous problem for facility -- even to the extent that surveyors have ceased activities in a lot of cases, that the state surveyors specifically note that they would only do inspections if they had adequate ppe. and often times they recognize that they don't. and so as a result they've curtailed their activities. >> yeah. so that's helpful. so in large trend not having enough ppe before, and still potentially having continued problems on that front, especially in the face of a second wave, dr. berbowski, we know we don't have enough ppe, we didn't have it and we still don't have enough. another area of widespread consensus, that we don't have enough data. i would love to hit this to you, what is it that we're missing still in the data set? >> absolutely. so the federal government put a lot of resources into putting together this -- what they thought would be a comprehensive covid database of a
