August 12, 2024 The Mescalero Apache Tribe is aware of the situation at the Mescalero Post Office. There was a powdery, white substance that was found in a package at the Mescalero Post Office. It is known as diatomaceous earth. It is a source of silica and is an ingredient in toothpaste, cat litter and paint. It can also be used as a dietary supplement and it helps keep crawling insects away.
A hazmat team was able to test the substance and confirmed it was a non-hazardous material. The building is now deemed safe.
At approximately 3:30PM on August 12, 2024 it is safe to conduct business at the Mescalero Post Office. Thank you!

SACRAMENTO, Calif. – Francisco Sánchez Jr., associate administrator for the Office of Disaster Recovery and Resilience at the Small Business Administration, today reminded New Mexico private nonprofit organizations of the Sept. 9 deadline to apply for an SBA federal disaster loan for property damage caused by the South Fork Fire, Salt Fire and flooding that began June 17. Private nonprofits that provide essential services of a governmental nature are eligible for assistance.
According to Sánchez, eligible private nonprofits of any size may apply for SBA federal disaster loans of up to $2 million to repair or replace damaged or destroyed real estate, machinery and equipment, inventory and other business assets. SBA can also lend additional funds to help with the cost of improvements to protect, prevent or minimize disaster damage from occurring in the future.
In addition, SBA offers Economic Injury Disaster Loans to help eligible private nonprofits meet working capital needs caused by the disaster. Economic Injury Disaster Loans may be used to pay fixed debts, payroll, accounts payable and other bills that cannot be paid because of the disaster’s impact. Economic injury assistance is available regardless of whether the private nonprofit suffered any property damage. Private nonprofits have until April 11, 2025, to apply for an SBA Economic Injury Disaster Loan.
These low-interest federal disaster loans are available in Lincoln, Otero, Rio Arriba and San Juan counties and the Mescalero Apache Tribe.
The interest rate is 3.25 percent with terms up to 30 years. Loan amounts and terms are set by SBA and based on each applicant’s financial condition.
Interest does not begin to accrue until 12 months from the date of the first disaster loan disbursement. SBA disaster loan repayment begins 12 months from the date of the first disbursement.
Applicants may apply online and receive additional disaster assistance information at SBA.gov/disaster. Applicants may also call SBA’s Customer Service Center at (800) 659-2955 or email disastercustomerservice@sba.gov for more information on SBA disaster assistance.
