Elephant Butte asks Ruidoso wildfire evacuees in RVs to register for temporary-dwelling tracking

Mayor Phillip Mortensen announced during the public-comment portion that the City of Elephant Butte requests that Ruidoso wildfire evacuees currently residing in RVs, motorhomes, fifth wheels or similar temporary dwellings come to City Hall to register that they are in a temporary dwelling within the incorporated city limits. The registration is not a permit, there is no fee, and the city will provide a neon Temporary Dwelling tag to place in a window visible from the roadway as a life-safety measure so emergency personnel will have knowledge of additional occupants at properties that would not normally have them.
