The Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) awarded the New Mexico Department of Homeland Security and Emergency Management a formula grant of $398,977.50 under the Interagency Hazardous Materials Public Sector Training and Planning Grants program (CFDA 20.703). The award, effective October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2027, supports the state's development and delivery of hazardous materials (HAZMAT) emergency preparedness and response capabilities.

The award enables the state agency to provide comprehensive HAZMAT training to public sector employees, emergency responders, and hazmat-related personnel across New Mexico. Deliverables include direct instruction, web-based training platforms, and mobile training formats to serve diverse geographic regions and organizational types. The New Mexico Department of Homeland Security and Emergency Management will maintain records of technical and financial accomplishments for three years following project completion and will be subject to audit requirements if annual federal expenditures exceed $750,000.
