VADO, N.M. (KTSM) — The Doña Ana County Board of Commissioners has scheduled an emergency meeting at 4 p.m. on Thursday, July 24, to discuss a potential emergency disaster declaration related to the flooding in Vado, the County said in an update.
The meeting will be on the first floor of the Government Center at 845 North Motel Boulevard in Las Cruces, and residents can attend the meeting in person.
The County has also opened up a Disaster Resource Center in response to the recent flooding at the Vado Community Center at 80 La Fe Avenue and will be open from 10 a.m. through 5 p.m. on Thursday.
The center is available to all residents who have been impacted by the recent flooding. The center provides in-person support and access to a range of “recovery services to include mental health counseling, spiritual support services, wellness checks, and consular services,” the County said.
