💨 Abstract

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has declared a public health emergency for California due to the ongoing wildfires in Los Angeles County. The wildfires have caused 10 deaths, destroyed nearly 10,000 structures, and are expected to have more victims. The declaration allows healthcare providers and suppliers under Medicare and Medicaid greater flexibility in meeting emergency health needs.
