FEMA USAR Training Review with Dr. Joe Holley

USAR Training During COVID-19 — Dr. Joe Holley in USAR training

Dr. Joe Holley recounts his recent trip to a USAR FEMA training center in California. The evolutions and scenarios presented the attendees, both educators and students, with a variety of very difficult and unique situations. Joe talks candidly about how strange disaster response is when compared to so-called “typical” EMS and Fire responses in a community.
