Authorities outline voluntary relocations for high‑risk households with housing funds tied to damage levels.

Overview

  • The second round of assistance begins November 10 for affected families in Veracruz, Hidalgo, Puebla, Querétaro and San Luis Potosí.
  • Payments will be issued via Banco del Bienestar with SMS messages guiding beneficiaries to collection points.
  • Housing support will scale by assessed damage at roughly 25,000, 40,000 or 70,000 pesos, after an initial 20,000‑peso payment to about 100,000 families.
  • Puebla plans to rehouse 850 families in the Sierra Norte on state‑secured sites across seven municipalities, with Sedatu leading outreach and Conavi prioritizing relocation projects in 2026; Infonavit will participate for eligible workers.
  • The government reports 27 communities still without road access in Veracruz and Hidalgo, with openings targeted within a week, and maintains an official toll of 83 dead and 16 unlocated.
