In this episode, we get an update from Mexico Beach on the USAR team deployed there. We were lucky enough to catch up with Dr. Joe Holley, deployed with Tennessee Task Force One USAR team in Mexico Beach. Joe relates what the team found on arrival at the devastated community, their medical relief efforts for the community in addition to their USAR duties, and the ongoing team efforts for search and recovery following the impact of Hurricane Michael.

Also on the show are co-hosts Sam Bradley, Jamie Davis, and our disaster weather expert, Kyle Nelson.

Stand by for more updates from the field as we are able to bring them to you with Dr. Joe, Dr. Ben Abo, and other members of the Disaster Podcast community.
