Point Loman goes in the first wave for FEMA The Federal Emergency Management Agency will soon be getting some needed help in its response to disaster relief. In August, 1,600 young men and women, including Point Loma resident, Christopher Lee Allison, will join AmeriCorps’ newly formed FEMA Corp. Formed in cooperation with the Department of Homeland Security, this program will prepare its young volunteers to respond to natural disasters in and around the United States. AmeriCorp FEMA requires 10 months residency at a designated site in the U.S. where new members will be trained in hurricane, tornado and earthquake assistance for displaced and needy disaster victims. Allison, the 22-year-old son of Point Loma residents Todd and Cyndi Allison, is a 2008 graduate of Point Loma High School, where he was captain of the school’s cross country team. He has spent the last two years taking classes in Oregon, working as a research lab assistant at the University of Oregon and serving as an assistant coach for a local soccer team. But for the next 10 months, his focus will be on service to those in need and preparing for a possible career in emergency management.
