PPE distribution.
To receive PPE, business-

• Hand Sanitizer Gel
• Touchless Thermom-
eters
The PPE will be distrib-
uted on a first come, first
serve basis, with priority
being given to business-
es that did not receive any
PPE in the previous rounds
of distribution.
PPE will start being dis-
tributed in late April.
To submit a request for
PPE, businesses should
complete the quick form
that can be found at ci.flor-
ence.or.us/economicdevel-
opment/ppe-businesses-1.
City Staff will notify busi-
nesses by email with more
information about pick up

In the first two rounds
of PPE distribution, the
city distributed over 44,000
masks, 440 packages of
gloves, 3,000 packages of
disinfectants, 1,000 cans
of aerosol sanitizing spray,
215 gallons of hand san-
itizer and 163 touchless
thermometers to over 250
businesses in the Siuslaw
region, serving over 1,142
members of the local work-
force.

provide PPE to numerous
non-profit
organizations
with a combined total of
over 450 routine volunteers.
