A month after the historic flooding in Metro Detroit new FEMA centers have opened in Garden City, Detroit and Dearborn.

The Michigan governor announced Wednesday that the state is receiving 50 ventilators on loan from the state of California. Gretchen Whitmer said in a news release that the ventilators have arrived in Lansing. “From the beginning, Governor Newsom has taken swift and aggressive action to protect California families from the spread of COVID-19,” reads a statement from Whitmer. These ventilators will save lives and help our health care system treat more COVID-19 patients here in Michigan. Many health care facilities throughout Michigan are facing shortages of essential medical supplies and personal protective equipment.
