OUR PRESENT. OUR FUTURE.
Selma Now is an effort to proactively address many of the topics that are important to you. Your input will help make Selma and Dallas County the best place it can be to live, work, and play.
What is a long-term recovery plan?
A long-term recovery plan is a strategic guide that provides direction following a disaster in a community, shaped by their goals and values. It takes a holistic, long-term view of critical needs and coordinates the mobilization of resources at the federal, state, and community levels. Selma Now will be a broad, recovery-focused plan that will set forth a long-term vision for a more resilient community. The long-term recovery plan acts as a guidebook for decision-makers and, while not legally binding, will provide actionable steps to reimagine Selma and Dallas County.
