President Joe Biden will visit New Mexico today to talk about his administration’s efforts to tackle wildfires as residents smolder with anger.

A group of Mora County residentsRalph Arellanes of Las Vegas, New Mexico, said many ranchers of modest means appear unlikely to receive compensation for uninsured cabins, barns and sheds that were razed by the fire.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency has approved 890 disaster relief claims worth $2.7 million for individuals and households. “There is no long-term plan right now for water infrastructure in northern New Mexico,” Carbajal said. “They barter a lot and really have never had to rely on external resources,” she said. “The whole idea of applying for a loan is an immediate turnoff for the majority of that population.”
