Fire, emergency medical services, police, and medical facilities in the region are in critical need of personal protective equipment (PPE) for their personnel. The City of Seattle, Public Health - Seattle & King County and the Washington State Department of Health are joining forces to solicit donations. Supplies needed at this time include new and unused N95, P100 and surgical masks, gloves, disposable gowns, eyewear, and more. Please help us connect people and organizations you know with this effort! Think creatively about industries and contacts who may have these supplies on hand.
Anyone from King County who has supplies available, please fill out this short survey surveymonkey.com/r/2MLD3L7. Upon receiving the information, City employees will follow up with the donor to determine the best option for drop-off or pick-up of donations. The State of Washington is also working to identify needs and fill shortages. The State is soliciting donations from large companies, purchasing from sources outside of normal contracts, and coordinating with manufacturers that are willing to shift gears and repurpose their manufacturing operations.
