Rep. Sewell to host live Telephone Town Hall on disaster assistance

Thursday’s town hall is the latest in an ongoing effort to recover and rebuild after the January tornadoes.

Congresswoman Terri Sewell

On Thursday, March 9th at 6:30 p.m. CT, U.S. Rep. Terri Sewell, AL-07, will host a live telephone town hall regarding disaster assistance available following the January 12th storms. Listeners will hear from Rep. 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 a representative from the U.S. Small Business Administration. The hour-long event will conclude with a Q&A session during which Rep. Sewell and her special guests will take questions directly from constituents.

Thursday’s telephone town hall is the latest in an ongoing effort to recover and rebuild in Alabama’s 7th Congressional District following the January 12th storms. Rep. Sewell and guests will focus on ensuring that those impacted by the storms register for individual assistance through FEMA before the March 16th deadline. 

Constituents are encouraged to register in advance to receive a call by visiting Rep. Sewell’s official website at sewell.house.gov. Constituents can also join by calling (877) 353-4701 at the time of the event.
