Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham has officially requested a major disaster declaration from President Biden following severe flooding in Roswell and Chaves County earlier this month. The storm, which began on October 18, caused significant damage to local communities, affecting residents, infrastructure, and essential services.
The state seeks federal assistance to aid Chaves County in its recovery efforts. Governor Lujan Grisham emphasized the importance of this support: “The people of Chaves County need our support as they work to rebuild and recover. A federal disaster declaration will bring critical resources to the area, helping families and businesses get back on their feet as soon as possible.”
Efforts are ongoing as the Governor’s office collaborates with local officials and emergency management teams to evaluate and address the damage caused by the storm.
