Restart Partners, founded in May 2020, is a nonprofit organization focused on fostering collaboration among state and local government leaders around the issue of personal protective equipment (PPE) and working together with behavioral experts to change social norms about wearing masks. To help state and local government leaders better project ongoing demand for PPE as they restart the economies of states and counties impacted by COVID-19, Restart Partners has developed an open-source PPE projection data model that makes it easier to understand what is happening with the pandemic in various regions and what equipment is needed to protect the general population.
