FEMA warns of scam calls related to wildfire, flood relief

NEW MEXICO (KRQE) – If you applied for FEMA assistance following the Ruidoso wildfires and flooding in New Mexico, you should be aware that FEMA may call from an unfamiliar number. The agency says it is important to answer those calls as representatives are calling for many reasons like issues with applications, scheduling inspections, or just a follow-up on your application.
