SANTA FE, N.M. -- The Hermit’s Peak/Calf Canyon Claims Office is pleased to announce two upcoming Advocate Resource Fairs for individuals impacted by the 2022 Hermit’s Peak/Calf Canyon Fire. The resource fairs are part of ongoing efforts to promote services and information to the community and provide one-on-one assistance and resources to support recovery efforts.
Individuals impacted by the fires who have filed a claim with the Claims Office or are interested in learning more about the process are encouraged to attend.
The Advocate Resource Fairs will feature informative sessions on critical topics, including pest control and the impact of wildland fires on soil. Additionally, attendees will have the opportunity to receive assistance filing a Notice of Loss, obtain status updates on their claims, submit paperwork, and ask questions regarding the claims process. Claimants may also learn more about National Flood Insurance Program policies and submit a claim for up to five years of flood insurance coverage.
The Hermit’s Peak/Calf Canyon Claims Office will be joined by partners from the State of New Mexico’s Disaster Case Management program, the U.S. Forest Service, the National Resources Conservation Service, National Flood Insurance Program, and the Tierra y Montes Soil and Water Conservation District. Representatives from these organizations will be available to offer insight and answer questions related to their respective programs.
