  • The Secretary of the 
    Department of Health and Human Service (HHS)
    declares a public health emergency. Visit Public Health Emergency or call 1-800-MEDICARE (1-800-633-4227) for a list of impacted areas.
  • A governor declares an emergency or disaster. Visit your state government's official website to find out if your area is affected.
