SANTA FE, N.M. – Victims of the Calf Canyon/Hermits Peak wildfire have more time to file a claim. The deadline was pushed to March 14.

But that’s not all, lawmakers also approved an extra $1.5 billion in aid. A court ruled earlier this month, allowing non-monetary damages from the fires to be included in those claims.

This resolution also allows victims to apply for no cost five-year flood insurance through the National Flood Insurance Program.
