Hot Weather Training for Responders of All Kinds

In the current hot summer weather, first responders and disaster teams still have to train. We bring back past guest James Corbin (@Wilderness_PA on Twitter) to talk about how to train in hot weather and how doing that training has positive effect on fitness. He and Dr. Joe Holley talk about the ways the body’s physiology adjusts to regular exertion in hot weather. This is a must listen for the current time.

Our disaster weather expert, Becky DePodwin, also gives us a tropical weather update on Tropical Storm Gonzalo in the Atlantic, Tropical Storm Hanna in the Gulf of Mexico, and Hurrican Douglas in the Pacific. We’re getting into the busier times of the Hurricane season. You can keep track of updates at the National Hurricane Center Website at Hurricanes.gov.

Also on the show were co-hosts Sam Bradley, and Jamie Davis, our disaster weather expert, Becky DePodwin, and Dr. Joe Holley.

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. Visit Paragon’s site at ParagonMedicalGroup.com for more information on how this can be brought into your system.
