Montgomery County is undertaking a N-95 Mask Rehab Project. We have approximately 47,000 N-95 masks that were stored in the National Strategic stockpile for many years and their elastic straps have dry rotted, rendering them unusable. We have started a project during the month of June, to refurbish the mask straps with elastic. We need volunteers to help with the project working at the County's Public Safety Headquarters. Volunteers can elect for a morning shift, afternoon shift, or a full day shift
