Document: In this article, we examine public perceptions of the importance of different levels of government and of nongovernmental entities in responding to the COVIDâ€19 pandemic. By analyzing the case of COVIDâ€19, we illuminate patterns that may be helpful for understanding public perceptions of the response to a broader range of crises, including the impacts of hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes, wildfires, and other hazards. We contribute to the public policy literature on public perceptions of government response to crises and expand it to include consideration of the role of nonstate actors. Drawing on a representative survey of 1200 registered voters in Texas, we find that individuals are more likely to view government as extremely important to respond to the pandemic than nonstate actors. We find that perceptions of the role of state and nonstate actors are shaped by risk perception, political ideology and religion, gender, and race/ethnicity. We do not find evidence that direct impacts from the COVIDâ€19 pandemic consistently shape perceptions of the role of state and nonstate actors.
