leyla, what is going on here?: all right, jake, so let me explain to you how the supplies are coming in. both of these supplies are coming in from flights overseas. and when they come in, they're secured by a private company, fema tells the company. half of it goes into the private market and half must go to these critical hotspots, although fema is not giving much of an indication as to exactly what critical hotspots are receiving what. but for those that go back into the private market, it's a place where a lot of governors have expressed frustration about being able to get their hands on supplies. so what are they doing? you have some states that are relying on others, governor gavin newsom in california announcing he's going to be sharing ventilators. you have other states that are hoping they can go through the private market. and then you have some states that are just finding other means. i spoke to one local government in connecticut that says their firefighters, because they can't get sanitizer, are now a

more tonight from cnn's leyla santiago. >> the states have been told you're on your own, it's a wild wild west. >> we are running dangerously low on ppe. >> those supplies are being diverted by the federal government. >> reporter: nearly a month after president trump declared covid-19 a national emergency, states are still sounding the alarm on supply shortages and there's another frustration mounting among states. understanding who's taking charge of the federal response. fema has taken the lead coordinating role, but with fema's administrator pete gainer largely out of the public view, one congressional aide tells cnn nunn really knows who's in charge, who's making decisions. >> we were briefing the president earlier. he asked me to come out and talk a little bit. >> reporter: trump's senior adviser and son-in-law jared kushner has taken a more prominent role in the response, at times taking charge unapologetically. >> i got a call from the president. he told me he was hearing from friends of his in new york that the new york public hospital system was running low on critical suppl

and leyla, there are shipments coming from overseas. where are they going? >> reporter: that's a great question, kate. i can't give you specifics about what the prioritized hot spots are because they have not released that list despite multiple requests from us to do so. i can tell you here's how it works. a supply company carries these supplies overseas, fema is getting that supply, and they say a portion of it goes back into the market and another portion of it is to go to these prioritized hot spots. when i asked about the specifics on where they are, again, they are not giving that information, only saying it includes locations like new york, connecticut, new jersey, d.c., illinois, texas, florida, washington and california. but i got to tell you, kate, i have called a lot of local governments in multiple states across the country, including louisiana, north carolina, connecticut, michigan, where we are right now in virginia. and when you talk to these local governments, most of them are telling you -- >> leyla, i'm going to jump in. we need to jump over

leyla santiago joins me now with more. the response has been confusing.t are you hearing from local officials? >> reporter: you know, anderson, i keep going back to a conversation i had yesterday with the state official in louisiana in which he said to me, look, we have a long standing good working relationship with our regional fema workers here, given what we've been through, katrina, flooding, et cetera, but he had some frustration in the lack of transparency and the lack of guidance of how decisions were being made beyond the regional level. he told me, typically, we ask our regional fema folks for supplies we may need for hurricanes and gets to the warehouse and shipped over here. that's not what's happening here, and so there's frustration on the local and state level in supplies coming in or rather, not coming in and who is guiding that, and making that decision. fema is taking the lead coordinating role here, but there seems to be a lot of cooks in the kitchen, if you will, in trying to decide what works best when it comes to allocation. you have

cnn's leyla santiago joins me now. good evening to you. thank you so much for joining us. we appreciate it. you have new reporting about overseas supplies coming the in on flights chartered by fema, but only some of those supplies are going to hotspots. tell us about it. >> reporter: right. only a portion of the supplies coming in from overseas are being allocated for these prioritized hotspots that have been deemed prioritized by fema and the department of health and human services. the other portion is go straight into the private market, you know, the place that has been a source of frustration for a lot of states who were saying it is way too competitive because they're competing with other states and the federal government. so, let's take this last flight that just came in as a sort of example as to how this works. so, a private company secures some supplies overseas. fema charters the flight in. and in this last fight, they said all right, 50% of that. so, half of the flight of supplies will go straight to the private market. the other 50%, we want that to go to thes
