00:01:24.022 --> 00:01:25.183 Why is it all of our problems? 00:01:25.691 --> 00:01:27.492 So I think it's important to remember that 00:01:27.572 --> 00:01:29.174 disasters impact everybody. 00:01:29.355 --> 00:01:30.454 They don't pick and choose. 00:01:30.495 --> 00:01:32.436 They don't select who gets impacted. 00:01:32.496 --> 00:01:34.759 It's widespread and it takes down 00:01:34.858 --> 00:01:35.379 everybody. 00:01:36.359 --> 00:01:37.740 So within the United States, 00:01:37.781 --> 00:01:39.561 I think what we need to reflect on 00:01:39.621 --> 00:01:42.323 is that the frequency of these large scale 00:01:42.343 --> 00:01:43.064 disasters, 00:01:43.125 --> 00:01:45.186 these one in a million sort of events 00:01:45.745 --> 00:01:47.528 are happening at a higher frequency and 00:01:47.548 --> 00:01:49.049 they're reaching a lot more people. 00:01:49.409 --> 00:01:50.049 Which is great. 00:01:50.290 --> 00:01:51.409 Including PTs. 00:01:51.450 --> 00:01:54.432 So we're seeing everybody getting impacted 00:01:54.471 --> 00:01:55.513 and then we're seeing all of these 00:01:55.552 --> 00:01:57.534 downstream effects from the lack of 00:01:57.614 --> 00:01:59.314 engagement from the PT profession. 00:01:59.355 --> 00:02:01.215 Why is it all of our problem? 00:02:01.236 --> 00:02:03.158 And that kind of guessing from your 00:02:03.197 --> 00:02:04.959 response because it's happening more and 00:02:04.998 --> 00:02:06.420 like we're either going to get run over 00:02:06.500 --> 00:02:08.221 or we lean in to prevent being run 00:02:08.260 --> 00:02:08.420 over. 00:02:08.808 --> 00:02:10.050 Every single disaster, 00:02:10.069 --> 00:02:11.751 if we look at just scale and scope, 00:02:11.931 --> 00:02:15.133 is in every part of the environment that 00:02:15.152 --> 00:02:15.713 we work in. 00:02:16.074 --> 00:02:18.134 So it's hospitals where I tend to lean 00:02:18.194 --> 00:02:18.536 into. 00:02:19.336 --> 00:02:21.638 It's nursing facilities. 00:02:21.698 --> 00:02:22.777 It's school-based settings. 00:02:22.798 --> 00:02:24.019 It's community settings. 00:02:24.139 --> 00:02:27.040 It's rural spaces and large population 00:02:27.080 --> 00:02:27.401 centers. 00:02:27.701 --> 00:02:28.141 Understood. 00:02:28.442 --> 00:02:28.602 Good. 00:02:28.681 --> 00:02:29.302 There's a reason. 00:02:30.182 --> 00:02:33.566 Where is PT underutilized during disasters 00:02:33.786 --> 00:02:34.225 specifically?
