新墨西哥州消息,联邦紧急事务管理局(FEMA)已批准向新墨西哥州提供联邦灾害援助,以补充该州应对自10月22日以来严重风暴与洪水造成的紧急响应工作。援助范围包括锡沃拉县、里奥阿里巴县、桑多瓦尔县和圣胡安县,以及阿科马普韦布洛、希卡里拉阿帕奇部落、拉古纳普韦布洛、圣伊尔德丰索普韦布洛和齐亚普韦布洛五个部落社区。联邦援助将以直接联邦协助的形式提供紧急保护措施,联邦出资比例为75%,州政府可向陆军工程兵团、地质调查局、环境保护署与FEMA等联邦机构请求 debris 清理与灾情评估、洪水监测、饮用水检测及庇护与饮水发放等支援。州长米歇尔·卢汉·格里沙姆已签署行政命令,拨出825万美元州政府资金用于洪灾救援,其中75万美元供国民警卫队在圣胡安县的洪灾响应、750万美元供州国土安全与应急管理厅救灾。州长办公室表示,联邦此次仅部分批准紧急声明,未批准州、县与部落已支出的 debris 清理与紧急保护措施费用报销;待灾情评估完成后,州长将再次申请重大灾难声明以争取报销与恢复援助,拟把圣菲县与索科罗县纳入申请范围。后续是否扩大援助范围,将视进一步灾情评估结果而定。
Four New Mexico Counties and Five Tribal Communities Receive Federal Flood Emergency Assistance; Governor Makes $8.25 Million in State Funds Available
New Mexico — The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has made federal disaster assistance available to the state of New Mexico to supplement emergency response efforts for severe storms and flooding that began on October 22. The assistance covers Cibola, Rio Arriba, Sandoval and San Juan counties and five tribal communities: Acoma Pueblo, the Jicarilla Apache Nation, Laguna Pueblo, San Ildefonso Pueblo and Zia Pueblo. Federal assistance will be provided as direct federal assistance for emergency protective measures at 75 percent federal funding, and the state may request support from federal agencies including the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for debris removal and damage assessments, the U.S. Geological Survey for flood monitoring, the Environmental Protection Agency for drinking water testing, and FEMA for mass care, sheltering and drinking water distribution.
Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham has signed executive orders making $8.25 million in state funding available for flood response, including $750,000 for the National Guard's flood response in San Juan County and $7.5 million for the Department of Homeland Security and Emergency Management's disaster response. The governor's office said the federal government granted the emergency declaration only in part and did not grant reimbursement for debris removal and emergency protective measures already carried out by the state, counties and tribal nations. Once damage is assessed, the governor will again request a Major Disaster Declaration to seek that reimbursement and federal recovery help, with plans to include Santa Fe and Socorro counties. Whether assistance is expanded further will depend on additional damage assessments.
