Disaster Relief Funds

 

The Alabama Education Association and NEA Member Benefits have partnered to provide disaster relief assistance and funding to members impacted by the tornadoes that devastated the city of Selma and many other Alabama counties on January 12, 2023.


Nine tornadoes ripped across Central Alabama, impacting citizens in Autauga, Coosa, Elmore, Greene, Hale, Macon, Mobile, Morgan, Sumter, and Tallapoosa Counties. In Autauga County, seven individuals lost their lives due to the E3 tornado that touched down in the Marbury Community, where more than 40 homes were destroyed. The city of Selma also suffered widespread damage from the E2 tornado. Severe storms and damaging straight-line winds impacted areas of the state.


Thanks to a generous grant from the NEA Member Benefits Relief Fund, AEA members can receive funds to help rebuild their homes and cover insurance, medical, and other essential expenses during this difficult time.
