“In the face of such a disaster, it is imperative that we act swiftly,” said Gov. Lujan Grisham. “Although there is still a long road to full recovery ahead, these emergency funds will help stabilize these communities and provide much-needed assistance to those in need.”

Key provisions of the executive orders include:

- The State’s Department of Homeland Security and Emergency Management (DHSEM) is tasked with coordinating all requests for assistance and responses.

- Deployment of National Guard to provide military support to civil authorities as needed during this emergency.

- All Cabinet Departments and agencies under gubernatorial control are directed to provide necessary assistance as required by DHSEM or the state Emergency Operations Center (EOC).
