  • West Las Vegas High School 157 Moreno Street Las Vegas, NM (map)

The state Department of Homeland Security and Emergency Management’s Disaster Case Management Team is hosting a free event open to the public to connect residents impacted by the Hermit’s Peak/Calf Canyon Fire to state-licensed contractors.

A flyer for the Aug. 3 Contractor Connects event.

During the event, residents will be able to meet with dozens of state-licensed contractors, hear about available services, learn about processes and permits, and take the first steps for rebuilding and repairing their property. Flood cleanup contractors will be among those in attendance.

In addition to getting help finding contractors, residents will be able to enroll in Disaster Case Management for support with navigating the recovery process. Disaster case managers and state partner agencies will be on site to assist residents who attend.

The New Mexico Forest and Watershed Restoration Institute will also be at the event providing information on bark beetles, contour felling, tree planting, and tree survivability, with a sign-up sheet for upcoming workshops.
