Today is the FEMA end date for COVID-19 disaster
FEMA is closing all COVID-19 disaster declaration incident periods today, May 11, 2023.
Applicants have until Nov. 7, 2023 to submit all project applications for work performed from July 2, 2022, through 11:59 p.m. on May 11, 2023. This includes project applications for work performed for demobilization, disposition and disposal activities.
FEMA published the COVID-19 Pandemic: Public Assistance Disposition Requirements for Equipment and Supplies FAQ Sheet document, which provides updated guidance on what to do with remaining equipment and supplies when a project is complete.
FEMA has obligated over $62 billion in Public Assistance funding to support the unprecedented response to the COVID-19 incident. As the incident closes, states, tribal nations, territories, localities and private nonprofits may have excess supplies and equipment no longer essential or usable. To help address the surplus, FEMA is providing the following assistance and flexibilities:
- Funding disposal of eligible FEMA-funded equipment and supplies, including necessary transportation.
- Accepting $0 fair market value for expired equipment and supplies.
- Accepting remaining fair market value for un-expired equipment and supplies based on current market conditions.
- Funding disposition of eligible equipment and supplies that FEMA provided as Direct Federal Assistance.
- Funding warehousing costs during the disposition period (until Aug. 9, 2023).
- Extending time needed for demobilization, disposition and disposal beyond the original deadline of Aug. 9, 2023.
The FAQ provides updated guidance about disposition and disposal requirements for equipment and supplies, and demobilization, including warehousing costs, for all COVID-19 emergency and major disaster declarations.

In Indiana, more than $110 million has been obligated to Hoosier businesses and schools during the pandemic declaration. Current recipients are encouraged to safeguard their Assistance Listing Number (formerly CFDA#) in the event of a federal or state audit. That number is 97.036.
