Estimados Padres,

Tenemos entendido que el
condado de Hidalgo está tomando su información si tuvieron daños por el huracán. En los siguientes números pueden llamar si necesitan albergue y también den reporte de daños a sus casas. Esperamos este informe sea de ayuda para ustedes.

Parents ,
We understand that the
Hidalgo County is taking your information of damages done to your home by the hurricane. You can call if you need shelter and also report damage to your homes. We hope this i formation is helpful to you.

Estimados Padres,

Si usted tiene un caso de estampillas (SNAP) abierto y perdió su comida por falta de energía durante el huracán, usted puede tener esa comida reemplazada. Solo tiene que completar la forma H-1855 con el Departamento de Servicios Humanos. Ellos determinarán su caso y le reemplazarán su comida con estampillas adicionales. Esperamos esta información sea de ayuda para ustedes.
