Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham has issued an emergency order to allocate $750,000 in state funding for the response to flooding in Doña Ana County. "Vado is facing devastating flooding, and this crisis demands immediate action," said Gov. Lujan Grisham. "New Mexico is mobilizing resources to support this resilient community through recovery."
The Executive Order 2025-333 directs the New Mexico Department of Finance Administration to provide these funds to the Department of Homeland Security and Emergency Management (DHSEM) for emergency response efforts.
Additionally, New Mexico has requested a team from FEMA to assist with preliminary damage assessments next week to evaluate if the county qualifies for federal assistance.
Residents seeking resources can contact the State Disaster Helpline from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. at 1-833-663-4736 or visit the DHSEM's website for more information.
