Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham on Tuesday signed an executive order declaring a state of emergency in Sandoval County due to flooding in the Jemez River corridor which affected the Village of Jemez Springs water treatment facility, the Jemez/Walatowa Pueblo, and the Village of San Ysidro.  

The executive order makes $750,000 in state emergency funding available to assist Sandoval County with emergency measures, help prevent additional damage, repair public infrastructure, and lessen the overall recovery time related to flooding impacts.  

The state Environment Department, Department of Homeland Security and Emergency Management, Department of Transportation, Department of Finance and Administration, and the governor’s office are coordinating with Sandoval County to ensure they have the resources necessary to protect public safety in the impacted area.
