Be Prepared: PNM Warns of Possible Power Shutoffs in High Fire-Risk Areas

With several high windstorms already this year and wildfire season fast approaching, PNM is alerting customers in high-risk areas—including the East Mountains, Santa Fe, Ruidoso, and more—that extreme weather could trigger a Public Safety Power Shutoff. These shutoffs prevent power lines from sparking wildfires and will only occur when necessary.

PNM urges residents to stay informed and prepare emergency kits in case of an outage. Click the link above for more info.

Watch: Forgotten Heroes 2024

On Sept. 19, 2024, the cremains of 42 military veterans were laid to rest with full honors through New Mexico’s Forgotten Heroes Funeral Program. These veterans, all honorably discharged, passed away unclaimed—without family or friends to see them to their final rest.

The program, led by the New Mexico Department of Veterans’ Services, Bernalillo County, and the New Mexico National Guard, ensures that no veteran is buried alone. This year, 34 of the veterans were from Bernalillo County, six from San Juan County, and one each from Doña Ana and Otero counties.

If you'd like to learn more about these pups or other animals available for adoption, please email ascoutreach@bernco.gov
