A STATE OF EMERGENCY IS DECLARED IN SANTA FE, THANKS TO ALL THE FLOODING THERE THIS WEEK. MAYOR ALAN WEBBER DECLARED IT AFTER THE CITY WAS HIT WITH A TORRENTIAL DOWNPOUR THIS WEEK. THE SANTA FE NEW MEXICAN REPORTS THE STATE OF EMERGENCY WAS DECLARED SO SANTA FE CAN GET STATE AND FEDERAL FUNDS FOR CLEANUP AND FLOOD DAMAGE REMEDIATION EFFORTS.
MORE RAIN IS EXPECTED IN SANTA FE INTO THE WEEKEND. RESIDENTS CAN GET MORE SAND BAGS NOW, IF NEEDED, AND CAN SIGN UP FOR WEATHER ALERTS AT ALERT-DOT-SANTA FE -NM-DOT-GOV. THERE’S ALSO AN EMERGENCY SHELTER SET UP AT THE FORMER SANTA FE UNIVERSITY OF ART AND DESIGN.
