Selma Mayor Cheryl L. Oliver has declared a state of local emergency in response to COVID-19. “The health and well-being of our community remains our top priority, and we are working to bring you the latest information regarding the Town’s operation, programs, and activities” said, Mayor Oliver. “This State of Emergency is an administrative action that will allow Selma access to any federal or state funding that may become available to assist municipalities in mitigating impacts associated with COVID-19. The citizens need to know that their local government is taking steps for their well-being.”
The local emergency comes as local, state and federal governments are working in an attempt to control the spread of COVID-19 across the country in order to reduce the potential of the virus to overwhelm the nation’s healthcare agencies. The Town continues to work closely and maintain consistent communication with Johnston County Public Health and Office of Emergency Management. The Town is also in communication with the School District.
