As emergency response efforts continue for the South Fork and Salt fires, the New Mexico Department of Homeland Security and Emergency Management (DHSEM) has called for additional support. Emergency Management Specialists are needed to relieve and supplement their counterparts in Ruidoso.
Stephen Kuhns, an Emergency Management Trainer from the City of Albuquerque, will be traveling to Ruidoso this week to provide assistance. "As tough times continue in Ruidoso, we’re here to provide relief and assistance to our neighbors to the south," said Director of Emergency Operations Michael Riley.
"Albuquerque’s thoughts and prayers are with Ruidoso, and we’re here to support our fellow New Mexicans during these devastating times," stated Mayor Tim Keller.
Kuhns will staff the Emergency Operations Center and assist with coordinating consequence management and recovery efforts. The City of Albuquerque’s Office of Emergency Management collaborates with agencies across the state to respond to large-scale incidents.
