Los Lunas is a rapidly growing community in the Rio Grande valley south of Albuquerque, with flash flood risk from the Rio Puerco and other drainages during monsoon season. The surrounding mesas and desert scrub create wildfire risk during dry and windy conditions. Its position as a bedroom community for Albuquerque means large commuter populations that need to coordinate emergency response with both Valencia and Bernalillo counties.
