Narrative:
There was no ppe (personal protective equipment) on the flight deck. No clorox or similar wipes on the flight; I called operations and asked for some to be brought out to the airplane. Non arrived prior to departure; so I used my own disinfectant wipes I brought from home. The proper disinfectant wipes are not being provided to the flight deck.when we check in at the gate; the agents there should hand wipes to the crew! Which in turn; keeps less people coming and going from the flight deck.
