Rep. Sewell to host telephone town hall Thursday on disaster assistance

SELMA, Ala. (WSFA) - Rep. Terri Sewell is set to host a live telephone town hall Thursday for those needing disaster assistance.

The telephone town hall is scheduled to take place starting at 6:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. Listeners will hear from Sewell, FEMA Federal Coordinating Officer Kevin Wallace, Alabama State Director for USDA Rural Development Nivory Gordon, Alabama Emergency Management Agency Director of Recovery Operations LaTonya Stephens, and representatives from the U.S. Small Business Administration.

At the end of the call, listeners will get to ask questions from officials in attendance.
