House Memorial 22 requests that local and regional governments in New Mexico be informed about the potential benefits of establishing flood control districts and the resources available through the Flood Control District Act. The memorial highlights the increasing risk of flood damage due to recent wildfires and climate change, emphasizing the importance of proactive measures to mitigate flooding. It notes that many local and regional governments may not be aware of the Flood Control District Act, which provides a framework for creating these districts.

The resolution calls for the New Mexico Association of Counties and the New Mexico Municipal League to advise their members on the advantages of forming flood control districts and the legal mechanisms available to do so. Additionally, it mandates that copies of the memorial be sent to the executive directors of both organizations to ensure the message is disseminated effectively.
