Just like any elite athlete who needs to look after their recovery to optimise game performance, first responders must look after themselves during disaster season.
Often during high-stress periods such as summer bushfire season, cyclones or floods, first responders often find themselves pushing the limits physically and emotionally,
frequently leading to exhaustion and complete fatigue.
This highlights the need for first responders to learn and engage in effective recovery routines, just like the elite athletes, to ensure optimal performance and wellbeing
longevity.
