新墨西哥州长宣布10月26日赴圣胡安县洪灾区视察,州紧急状态令已生效调配救援资源

新墨西哥州州长米歇尔·卢汉·格里沙姆将于10月26日前往圣胡安县洪灾区视察。州长办公室10月25日发布公告宣布了这一行程,此时圣胡安河与阿尼马斯河沿岸刚刚发生历史性洪水。公告说,州紧急状态令已经生效,相关资源现已到位。
10月24日,州政府曾发布公告说,州紧急救援队伍正与圣胡安县官员一道救援居民并协助撤离,国民警卫队与州警察参与了救援行动。纳瓦霍族警方10月24日说,救援人员连夜执行了20次救援行动,重点在法明顿至希普罗克一带;希普罗克南部大部分地区10月24日已恢复供电,但仍有部分家庭与商户断电。
纳瓦霍部落公用事业局10月25日说,洪水冲击了希普罗克的污水处理厂,为防止污水倒灌进住宅和商户,未经处理的污水正排入圣胡安河;该局同时说,供水系统独立运行、未受洪水影响,饮用水仍可安全使用,并呼吁希普罗克下水道用户节约用水、避开圣胡安河与洪水水域。州长此次视察的重点是灾区一线的救援与恢复进展,州政府表示将继续与县政府和部落方面协调后续安置与修复工作。

New Mexico Governor Announces October 26 Visit to San Juan County Flood Zone; State Emergency Order in Effect as Resources Deployed
New Mexico Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham will travel to the flood disaster zone in San Juan County on October 26. The governor's office announced the trip in a statement on October 25, after historic flooding struck along the San Juan and Animas rivers. The statement said a state emergency order is in effect and resources are now in place.
On October 24, the state government said state emergency rescue teams were working alongside San Juan County officials to rescue residents and assist evacuations, with the National Guard and state police taking part. Navajo Nation police said on October 24 that rescue crews carried out 20 rescues overnight, concentrated between Farmington and Shiprock; power had been restored to most of southern Shiprock by October 24, though some homes and businesses remained without electricity.
The Navajo Tribal Utility Authority said on October 25 that flooding had hit Shiprock's wastewater treatment plant, and that untreated sewage was being discharged into the San Juan River to prevent it from backing up into homes and businesses. The authority also said the drinking water system operates independently and was unaffected by the flooding, so drinking water remains safe, and it urged Shiprock sewer customers to conserve water and stay away from the San Juan River and floodwaters. The governor's visit will focus on rescue and recovery progress on the ground, and the state government said it will continue coordinating relief and repair work with the county and tribal authorities.
