FEMA wildfire claims office in Mora expanding
Mar. 29—Soon there will be more room in Mora to process claims for those who suffered losses from the Hermits Peak/Calf Canyon Fire.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency is expanding its Mora facility to handle the wildfire and post-fire flooding claims.
The new space, which will open Monday, consists of two buildings and a parking lot behind the Mora County Courthouse.
"We're excited to finally see the expansion of the Mora ... claims office," Mora County Commissioner Veronica Serna said in a statement. "With the increased filing of fire [and] flood claims, the desperately needed extra space and additional claims staff are greatly appreciated."
Those affected by the historic fire and subsequent flooding will be able to speak with navigators and claims reviewers and pick up or submit notices of loss, proof of loss and other forms. They also can learn about the claims process and make an appointment to meet with staff.
