The Village of Ruidoso is proactively responding to PNM’s Public Safety Power Shutoffs (PSPS) to mitigate wildfire risks. While the Village does not control shutoff decisions, it is working with local partners to keep residents informed and prepared. Emergency plans include resiliency centers, alert systems, and resources for those with medical needs. Residents are urged to plan ahead and stay informed.

Due to the ongoing Blue 2 Fire and predicted high winds and fire danger, the Village of Ruidoso will NOT conduct the regularly scheduled siren test first of the month on Saturday, June 1st. Stay informed via our Blue 2 Fire Information Hub and take necessary precautions.

Ensure your family's safety with a well-prepared disaster kit. Stock essentials like water, non-perishable food, first aid supplies, and crucial documents. Include comfort items and cater to special needs like children, pets, elderly, and disabled family members. Contact Ruidoso's Office of Emergency Management for detailed readiness tips.

Ruidoso Office of Emergency Management, in coordination with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) & the Federal Communication Commission (FCC), will take part in the nationwide test of the Emergency Alert System (EAS) and the Wireless Emergency Alert (WEA) system at approximately 12:20 PM MDT on Wednesday, October 4, 2023.
