New Mexico Adds Sierra County to Wildfire Emergency Order

On June 13, 2022, the New Mexico Office of Superintendent of Insurance (OSI) issued an Emergency Order to add Sierra County to its May 11, 2022 Wildfire Emergency Order. The recent Order was issued in response to the Governor’s Executive Order 2022-087, published on June 10, 2022, which expanded the emergency declaration to include Sierra County as a result of the Black Fire.  

Following the wildfires, the OSI also published Bulletin 2022-010 on June 8, 2022 to remind property and casualty insurers of the statutory coverage requirements for residential property insurance policies.
