An emergency can hit at a moment’s notice – whether it’s a natural disaster like flooding, wildfires or high winds, or a personal emergency like a house fire.
“When an emergency hits, adrenaline kicks in making it hard to think straight,” said Joseph Roybal Sanchez, AARP New Mexico State Director. “You may only have minutes to get your family, your pets and yourself to safety.”
$69,000 in grants aim to help residents of all ages, especially older adults, improve how they live, move, and stay connected in their neighborhoods through innovative local projects.

For the last two years, AARP - Virgin Islands has been working alongside local legislators to push through the Opioid Notification Bill No. 36-0021, and yesterday Governor Albert Bryan, Jr. signed this bill into law! Bill No. 36-0021 requires healthcare providers to disclose the risks associated with opioid use, helping patients make informed decisions. This bill complements prior legislative efforts supported by AARP, including the recent establishment of the Prescription Drug Monitoring Program (PDMP) and the creation of the Opioid Abatement Fund. Together, these efforts advance the work of combating opioid misuse and protecting public health in our territory.
