Life Saving and Life Sustaining Actions Needed Immediately

Updated: April 16, 2026 by admin

Life Saving and Life SustainingActions Needed Immediately: Identify COVID-19 infection PREVENTION as a PRIORITY in congregate institutional settings (nursing facilities, long term care facilities, group homes, etc.)

[Image blue arrow that points to text:]
Governors take the lead and say “we can mitigate the disaster in these institutional settings, where the majority of people are dying from COVID-19, by offering relocation to non-congregate sheltering (like hotels, motels, dorms) for people who want it.”

[Image: blue arrow that points to 2 text blocks. Between text blocks is an arrow with that points in both directions.] Text block 1: Following the FEMA homeless non-congregate sheltering approach
•California’s Approach [Hyperlinked; notation below]
•Connecticut’s Approach [Hyperlinked; notation below]
Text block 2: Utilize FEMA Public Assistance funds to prevent admission, promote & support safe relocation.
• Category B—emergency protective measures [Hyperlinked; notation below]
• In conjunction with new FEMA PAS Guidance [Hyperlinked; notation below].
[Image: Both text blocks share a blue arrow that points to text:] Mitigate COVID Spread & Save Disabled Lives Now.
