Dona Ana County gets funds for emergency supplies

As many as 400 Doña Ana County residents can be given temporary shelter in the event of an emergency, thanks to a grant that recently purchased two mobile units ready to deliver necessary supplies anywhere they are needed in the county. 

The Office of Emergency Managementis a joint preparedness support organization of Doña Ana County and the City of Las Cruces. 

They  used the $48,000 grant to purchase 400 cots, lanterns, first aid kits, blankets, inflatable pillows, personal hygiene kits, lamps and weather radios that can all be packed tightly into two 16-foot trailers.
