Creating a Community Disaster Life Support Class

In this episode of the Disaster Podcast, we have a look at a new American College of Emergency Physicians (ACEP) initiative to help build resilient communities in the face of disaster. Host Jamie Davis, the Podmedic and co-host Sam Bradley are on the show with Jim Logan from Paragon Medical Education Group.

Jim is the chair of the committee to review the existing disaster medical life support classes so that a new community-based disaster training class for lay people. It will be a community disaster life support class and will focus on helping community members gain the skills needed to manage common life-threatening injuries seen after both natural and man-made disasters.
