Earthquake and Tsunami Clinical Topics with Dr. Joe Holley

This episode starts off with a Covid clinical update and a look at the fading of emergency measures across the country. As resources and free services are rolled back, some of the most at-risk individuals for ongoing COVID exposure no longer have access to many of the resources that helped them avoid and manage the disease before.

The discussion then turns to a look at USAR rescue from earthquakes including a description some specific rescues from the Northridge, California earthquake in 1994.

Tsunamis can follow earthquakes in a region or even from events in regions far away across the ocean. Water is very heavy and dense and can be the cause of specific and usually fatal water-related injuries. The aftermath of earthquakes and tsunamis leaves lots of hazards in a community. These can expose individuals to toxins and irritants on top of injuries from the original event.
