Governor Laura Kelly has announced that the Kansas Division of Emergency Management has launched a new Business PPE Stopgap Program, which provides personal protective equipment to businesses experiencing delays in purchased equipment. Kelly says many businesses in the State have had huge challenges during the pandemic and the State wants to make sure they have access to the necessary equipment to protect employees and customers and ensure they stay open for business.
Business that have ordered PPE but are experiencing backorders or delayed delivery date, may access this program and expect delivery of items, if available, within a few days. The PPE will be shipped from the state inventory at no cost to eligible businesses. Items included are masks and face shields, with gowns and coveralls available to health care related businesses.
Requirements include being in good standing with the Kansas Department of Revenue and proof of the PPE backorder or delayed delivery.
