“There are costs that are being incurred and required based on COVID, but they are all not necessarily emergency protective measures, and they’re not necessarily all FEMA-eligible,” Turi added.

  1. No reason the government should be supplying them. Just make your own! A few pieces of fabric (can use old cloth items around your house), shoe laces or elastic, and a threaded sewing needle! Yes a sewing machine will make it easier but there is no excuse for people to not have a couple of these masks already. Target sells them for a few dollars. Wash in the sink with hot water and soap or throw them in your washing machine.
