Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham has issued two emergency orders to provide $1.5 million in state funding for agencies responding to recent flooding in Mora County. The flooding, which followed heavy rainfall on August 26 and 27, caused damage to both public and private property.
Mora County officials have requested help with repairing county roads, deploying swift water rescue teams, and supplying sandbags. In response, Executive Orders 2025-361 and 2025-362 direct the New Mexico Department of Finance Administration to allocate $750,000 each to the Department of Homeland Security and Emergency Management (DHSEM) and the Department of Military Affairs. These funds will be used to coordinate resources and address requests from local officials.
Residents who have an existing claim with the Hermit’s Peak Calf Canyon Claim’s Office are encouraged to contact their Claim’s Office Navigator or call the Helpline at 505-995-7133 if they experience new damages due to this latest flooding event.
The DHSEM will provide updates on its Facebook page as more information becomes available.
