New Mexico: insurance for cause-driven organizations in THE LAND OF ENCHANTMENT

New Mexico is home to more than two million people, a population that includes about 2,000 churches and 12,000 nonprofit organizations. These religious and community organizations rely on property insurance to protect their facility investments and liability insurance to defend them from litigation-related risks.

Insurance-related risks for New Mexico ministries
New Mexico’s arid climate puts it in the top 10 states in the U.S. in terms of wildfire risk. Contributing factors include:

  • Dense pine forests and undergrowth are a ready source of fuel; but so are the state’s dry eastern plains.

  • Development often intersects with wild and forested areas.

  • The combination of an arid climate and high winds amplify fires.

In addition, the state’s high-desert climate is conducive to intense winds that damage roofing, while flash floods inundate low-lying areas. Hot, sunny days generate invisible UV damage to facility exteriors. UV damage is often coupled with the impact expansion and contraction have on facilities in high-desert environments that experience constant temperature fluctuations.

While the state is known for its hot summer and generally mild winter temperatures, severe weather is still a threat to facilities. The state’s superintendent of insurance warns, “New Mexico’s cold season brings frigid temperatures, snow, frozen fog and, on occasion, blizzard-like conditions.” The degree of impact is related to geography and elevation. Mountainous and northern areas can receive hundreds of inches of snow, while southern regions of New Mexico accumulate only a few inches. The state is home to many flat-roof commercial buildings. When these experience heavy snow and are inadequately cleaned or drained, the result can be roof damage or structural collapse. In addition, freezing and burst pipes are a concern not only in high elevations and in winter, but anywhere the desert climate produces strong variances between daytime highs and nighttime lows.

New Mexico is home to many renowned historic buildings. When these require maintenance and repair, unique challenges are raised. Work must be done in accordance with strict (and often costly) historic preservation ordinances. In addition, buildings that must be brought up to current codes face the added expenses of compliance.
