Hurricane Florence Thursday PM Field Update with Dr. Joe Holley

As Hurricane Florence nears the coast of North Carolina, Dr. Joe Holley, and his fellow federal, state, and local responders are hunkering down to ride out the storm so they can be ready to respond after it passes. We got the chance to catch up with Joe during a brief break while he was assessing resources and capabilities in Wilmington, NC.

Here’s a brief segment recorded by host Jamie Davis, the Podmedic as he caught up with Joe. We’ll try and connect with Joe and other members of the Disaster Podcast community as the opportunity presents as the response and recovery phase of the storm happens this weekend. Stay tuned here and over at our Disaster Podcast Facebook Group and at DisasterPodcast.com.
