One of D’Allessandris last moves as director of the Clark County EMA was handling the initial stages of the coronavirus pandemic.
She helped to establish a virtual Volunteer Resource Center with the help of Clark County Combined Health District and the United Way of Clark, Champaign and Madison Counties.
D’Allessandris said at the time that a centralized location for managing, identifying, registering and tracking those interested in volunteering needed to be established during the coronavirus pandemic.
