📰 News we're reading
• Flooding Resources - Office of the Governor (state.nm.us) — Bloomfield residents are urged to stay cautious as recent flooding leaves neighborhoods closed, even though rescues between Farmington and Bloomfield have ended. Drinking water in Bloomfield is safe, shelters and food aid are available nearby, and officials warn to avoid floodwater, heed road closures, and wait for inspections before returning home while state and federal recovery efforts ramp up. 
• New Mexico man risks life to save families from floodwaters: 'I jumped in' (wcvb.com) — In Bloomfield, a homeless resident living under a bridge went door to door warning neighbors as floodwaters rose, helping families, pets, and vehicles escape danger. After nearly being swept away himself while checking on a stranded truck, he’s now volunteering at First Baptist Church in Bloomfield, supporting fellow San Juan County flood victims seeking recovery resources.
