ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Flooding has persistently plagued Chicago, the city famously built on a swamp. However, as storms become more severe and more frequent, residents will likely have to deal with flooded basements, streets and other damage more often.
With climate change driving worsening weather, Chicagoans are rolling up their sleeves to prepare. In the Loop hears from local organizations working to make communities more flood-resilient.
GUESTS: Zach Wirtz, director of the Chicago Region Trees Initiative, Morton Arboretum
Nina Idemudia, CEO, Center for Neighborhood Technology
Bre’Shaun Reddick, Local Partnership Manager, Alliance for the Great Lakes
