This process supports the President's authority under the Defense Production Act to prioritize and allocate resources for national defense, including homeland security and emergency preparedness. The information helps ensure timely delivery of goods and services needed for emergency management. Comments are welcomed to assess the necessity, utility, and potential improvements of this process, and must be submitted by March 5, 2021.

    Reading Time:about 21 minutes

    The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has finalized a rule known as the Emergency Management Priorities and Allocations System (EMPAS), which allows it to prioritize certain contracts that promote national defense. This rule is part of FEMA's response to the COVID-19 emergency and aims to ensure critical materials and resources are available domestically. The rule, effective January 8, 2021, was established under the Defense Production Act and involves giving some contracts priority for health and medical resources needed to combat COVID-19. It follows the interim rule published in May 2020, with minor technical changes.

    Simple Explanation

    FEMA has made a rule that helps them make sure the most important things, like masks and medicines, are made and sent out quickly to help with emergencies like the COVID-19 situation. This means some companies have to make and send these things really fast, even if they have other orders to fill.
