Disaster Podcast hosts Sam Bradley and Jamie Davis, the Podmedic are joined in this special episode by EMT and wilderness safety and EMS educator Kevin Reiter, Dr. Joe Holley from Paragon Medical Education Group, and a podcast listener from West Virginia involved in the flood response there in June of this year, Malcolm Lanham.

Paragon Brings “The Experience”
Paragon Medical Education Group specializes in bringing what they call “The Experience” to jurisdictions around the country. They bring together police, fire, EMS, and hospital teams to train together and learn what to expect from each diverse group in the response team so that each knows what to expect from the other and how to back the other groups up.
