The county Emergency Operations Center is continuing to distribute Personal Protective Equipment, or PPEs, to medical facilities and other first responders across the region.

Just on Wednesday, the staff loaded up 12,000 units of face masks, bottles of sanitizer, gloves, isolation gowns and face shields, according to a Facebook post, to be sent out from the county’s southern reaches to its northern ones.

To see how the staff preps for these special deliveries, watch the video below.
