The administration of Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham filed a lawsuit in U.S. District Court against the Federal Emergency Management Agency. The suit seeks $61.6 million to fund emergency response efforts in the Calf Canyon/Hermits Peak burn scar. This funding is intended to cover guard-related flood control and debris management over a 10-year period ending in 2034.
