SANTA FE, New Mexico – FEMA is supporting state and local recovery efforts for New Mexicans in Doña Ana County who sustained damage from the severe storms, flooding and landslides that began June 23, 2025.
Financial assistance is available to eligible homeowners and renters in Doña Ana County through FEMA’s Individual Assistance program. FEMA may be able to help with serious needs, displacement, basic home repair costs, personal property loss or other disaster-caused needs.
