Updating and Improving Training Processes for Disaster Preparedness

On the call this week were Dr. Joe Holley, Dan and Becky DePodwin, Kyle Nelson, and Sam Bradley with co-host Jamie Davis. The team started off talking about recent active extreme weather patterns in the United States Midwest. This included tornadoes associated with several lines of extreme thunderstorms.

Then we bring in Kyle Nelson to talk about responder education and our needs to continue to increase and bolster our skill sets through training opportunities. Local and state responders are increasingly called on to be proficient in communications and collaboration with other teams including Federal or even international teams who respond to local needs.

Thank you as always to Paragon Medical Education Group for their long-term support of the Disaster Podcast. Dr. Joe Holley and the team at Paragon continue to provide excellent and customized disaster response training to jurisdictions around the U.S. and internationally as well.
