CMS maintains dedicated webpages to help Medicare providers and suppliers stay informed during declared public health emergencies (PHEs), including natural disasters and other emergencies that may impact access to care or Medicare requirements.

The CMS Current Emergencies webpage is the primary source for information on active PHEs and Medicare emergency response activities. This page includes details on the type of emergency, impacted geographic areas, and links to CMS announcements, approved Medicare flexibilities, and Section 1135 waivers. Suppliers should monitor this page routinely during emergency situations to determine whether CMS has issued guidance that could affect claims submission or other Medicare requirements.

Refer to the CMS Current Emergencies page for active public health emergencies PHE declarations that provide targeted support and flexibility for Medicare beneficiaries and provider and supplier communities in the affected areas. Resources on the Current Emergencies page direct users to relevant waiver determinations and CMS communications specific to each event.
