#DYK Statewide Intake plans for extreme weather events and continues to field calls regarding abuse and neglect even in natural disasters? It also gives #fosterfamilies, residential childcare facility employees, and #kinshipcaregivers a streamlined way to report evacuations to DFPS. To report abuse or neglect call 1-800-252-5400; to report evacuation when the Natural Disaster Line is activated, select option 8. 🌪️📞
