SANTA FE, N.M. — The FEMA Hermit’s Peak/Calf Canyon Claims Office in Santa Fe is relocating to the main Claims Office building on St. Michael’s Drive and Fifth Street to consolidate operations under one roof.

The public office, which is now located at 1711 Llano St., Suite E, will move to the northeast section of 1712 St. Michael’s Drive effective Nov. 17 starting at 7 a.m. The Santa Fe Claims Office will operate in the space that previously housed the former Kmart garden center on the east side of the building with a marked entrance and designated parking area. The public office will resume its services at this location on Nov. 17, 2025.  

The Llano Street location will be closed after Nov. 13.

The Claims Office will continue to offer the same assistance in processing claims for losses from the Hermit’s Peak/Calf Canyon Fire, subsequent flooding and other cascading impacts. Support includes helping claimants provide the necessary documentation and work through any questions that may arise. 

“This move will create cost savings and greater efficiency, which we always strive for at the Claims Office,” said Jay Mitchell, Director of Operations for the New Mexico Joint Recovery Office. “For these reasons, it makes sense to consolidate Santa Fe operations under
