SANTA FE, New Mexico – Hours are changing this weekend for two in-person centers supporting New Mexicans affected by severe storms, flooding and landslides that occurred June 23 – Aug. 5.

After experiencing losses from the June 23 – Aug. 5 severe storms, flooding and landslides, New Mexico homeowners and renters need to prove they occupied their home at the time of the disaster before they can receive assistance. FEMA accepts a broad range of documentation.

When you apply for FEMA assistance after the June 23 - Aug. 5 New Mexico severe storms, flooding and landslides, you will need to provide proof of identity and residence and other documentation. Here are some ways to replace important documents that may have been lost or damaged.

SANTA FE, New Mexico – A Disaster Recovery Center is open in Del Cerro, in Doña Ana County, to assist New Mexicans affected by the severe storms, flooding and landslides that occurred June 23 - Aug. 5.
