It’s easy to think that disasters won’t happen in New Mexico. However, New Mexico is at risk for drought, wildfires, floods, flash floods, high winds, landslides, severe winter storms, severe thunderstorms, hail storms, tornadoes, and earthquakes. The more prepared you are before a disaster occurs, the less impact it will have on your life. In most cases during severe weather or a natural disaster, the safest action is to take shelter, generally at home.

Gardening can reduce stress and mental clarity while also helping to prevent everything from coronary disease to colon cancer.
Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham has declared a state of public health emergency in New Mexico as a result of the novel coronavirus disease (also known as COVID-19). In the midst of this unprecedented public health crisis, the negative impact to the economy has caused many individuals and families to suffer severe financial difficulties. The state and private companies have taken measures to mitigate financial hardship and the state is diligently working to identify additional sources of relief and to advocate for a full measure of federal support.
Rio Arriba means "upper river," the Spanish designation for the region of the upper Rio Grande in New Mexico. The county was one of the seven original partidios under Spanish rule. Tierra Amarilla, the county seat, is near popular recreation areas. Much of the Jicarilla Apache Reservation is in Rio Arriba as well as San Juan and Santa Clara Pueblos. The Brazos, Chama, and Rio Grande rivers are important to the county for farming and recreation.
