Good afternoon,

Here's today's short update! Please keep letting us know how we can assist you, and if there are any particular topics or questions you'd like to be addressed.

Information from the Interagency Recovery Task Force: Please see attached simple flyer for "Public COVID-19 Data Hubs," which includes links to publicly-accessible COVID-19 data and analysis intended to help SLTT governments. This one-pager includes links to key hubs that provide access to the majority of relevant data from a variety of sources. It is meant to be an easy reference for SLTT users to help them access the variety of data available and to facilitate greater understanding of COVID-19 impacts.Please feel free to distribute to all of your partners, including all levels of government and non-government. We hope you find this useful.  If you have any feedback please provide to the CPCB-RSF at fema.dhs.gov<mailto:CPCB-RSF at fema.dhs.gov> mailbox.

              Weekend Updates

*         Enabled contractors to assist in the completion of streamlined project applications, reducing the burden on Applicants,
*         Updated the EHP Temporary Facility Survey, to gather better information for understanding EHP impacts,

Here are some of the things to look out for over the next several weeks:
