"In 2025, the SNS began a nationwide effort to place medical countermeasures closer to the communities that depend on them by supporting state, local, tribal, and territorial (SLTT) partners in building and maintaining their own stockpiles."

This reads like the feds are not maintaining any stockpiles anymore. My guess.

Hi Sharon,
In my opinion, your quote above is referring to this excerpt from the article (to make it the deployment of medicine more efficient nationwide):

ASPR also manages the Strategic National Stockpile (SNS) to ensure lifesaving medicines and supplies are ready and quickly deliverable to affected communities. In 2025, the SNS began a nationwide effort to place medical countermeasures closer to the communities that depend on them by supporting state, local, tribal, and territorial (SLTT) partners in building and maintaining their own stockpiles. To strengthen readiness, the SNS held listening sessions with 613 SLTT partners and validated 22 SLTT warehouse facilities to ensure they can receive, stage, and store medical countermeasures during emergencies.
