What happens when disaster strikes? Do you know what your role is in an emergency? In today’s introductory episode of Season 12, First Case co-hosts Melanie and Chris kick off our season on Disaster Preparedness by sharing their own experiences of the unexpected. Tune in as Chris shares about her experience with Hurricane Harvey as the Medical Liaison for Ellis County, TX, Community Emergency Response Team (CERT), and as Melanie shares her own experience with a workplace shooting. There are lessons to be learned from each experience, and ways that we can learn and plan so that we’re prepared for any future event. Whether we find ourselves in the middle of a natural disaster or we’re involved in an act of violence, our preparation and readiness are what help us find success in any emergency situation. So, stay tuned for this exciting first episode of Season 12: Disaster Alert!
