NM Wildfire Survivors Waiting for Compensation

New Mexico in Focus (A Production of NMPBS)

This week, Journalist Patrick Lohmann of Source New Mexico sits down with two survivors of the Hermit's Peak/Calf-Canyon Fire. In the first of two conversations, Lohmann asks both about the losses they have suffered and how they have helped neighbors in their community recover. Later, the pair speak on the lack of federal financial relief their community has received and why local leadership at FEMA needs to change.
