The primary purpose of this supplemental one-time funding is to
establish stockpiles of critical medical equipment and supplies
and as well as to develop plans for maintenance, distribution, and
sharing of these resources. The objective is to increase quantities
of critical material at the state or sub-state level while minimizing
individual hospital storage and/or carrying costs.
Texas was awarded $4.7 million; approximately $4 million will be
available for the state to purchase identified items or to further
the planning efforts for alternate care sites or mortuary services
within the state.
