From the Village…
After careful consideration, the Mayor and the Village Council have decided to allow residents back into Ruidoso at 8:00 AM on Monday, June 24th.
Here are a few things to know about re-entry:
1. Re-entry will be for LOCAL, FULL-TIME residents only at this time.
2. The VOR is asking that 2nd homeowners and tourists refrain from coming to Ruidoso to give residents time to get back to their properties and survey any needs or damages.
3. Please bring at least a week's worth of food and drinking water as grocery stores are not operating at full capacity.
4. Due to the events of the past week, you may arrive to find that your home has no gas, no electricity, and no water. If your home has no power, your refrigerator will not be working. You can check the outage maps at PNM.org and ZNGC.com
5. There is no childcare available.
6. If you have breathing issues including asthma or COPD, you may find that you cannot tolerate the ash, smoke, and soot that are in the air.
7. We currently have a Boil Water Advisory in place which is normal after a natural disaster. If any of our systems are found to be compromised, there is the possibility for a mandatory Boil Water Order.
We hope that you will help us make this process smooth. Please remember that we are here to help you, and at the same time, we want to ensure your safety and the safety of everyone's property.
Any questions can be directed to the EOC Phone Bank at 575-258-6900 or more information can be found on the VOR website at www.Ruidoso-NM.org
