Hidalgo County Emergency Contact Information

Light rain began the holiday period earlier than expected in parts of the Rio Grande Valley on Wednesday morning. Residents in North McAllen reported that “it’s raining,” marking a wet start to the day before the region transitions to the warmer, mostly dry pattern expected for the rest of the week.

Caring for a loved one is an act of honor, love, and incredible strength. Whether it’s helping with daily activities, offering emotional support, or simply being present, caregivers are the quiet heroes who hold families and communities together. With nearly one in four Americans serving as family caregivers, their dedication touches every corner of our lives.

Three groups of students enrolled in the Texas A&M University School of Public Health’s PHLT 411 Project Management in Public Health course at the Texas A&M University Higher Education Center at McAllen(HECM) recently led free community events designed to help address issues residents are facing in Hidalgo County.
