On this episode of the Disaster Podcast,  we pick up with part 2 of the episode we started last week. We resume our chat on rural EMS challenges as austere environments with Chris Prutzman, Director of Operations for Samaritan Ambulance in Oklahoma. Chris comes on to talk about dealing with rural EMS services in disaster situations.

Also on the show are Sam Bradley, Jamie Davis, disaster weather expert Kyle Nelson, and Dr. Joe Holley from Paragon Medical Education Group.

  • The environment (The effects of weather)
  • Animals, snakes, and spider, oh my
  • Trauma issues

This is a two-part episode. Check out last Thursday’s episodes for part one of this discussion on how rural EMS lends unique challenges to delivery of care.
