We take a look at the record rainfall from Tropical Storm Imelda as it slowly weakens to a tropical depression over East Texas. As responders scramble to assist with water rescues during flooding that some are calling reminiscent of Hurricane Harvey in 2016, we talk about Federal USAR team configurations and logistics.

On the show this week are Disaster Podcast host, Jamie Davis, who’s joined by Kyle Nelson, Becky DePodwin, our two meteorologists, along with co-host Sam Bradley, 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.
