Webcooked: survival by zip code transcript. WebCooked: Survival by Zip Code. Jay Koziarz, Curbed Chicago'Cooked is an homage to those forgotten and left behind in the wake of disaster. Whitman had outlined.00:35:28.331 --> 00:35:30.7903,200 deaths from terrorism00:35:30.790 --> 00:35:34.498are considereda national disaster,00:35:34.498 --> 00:35:38.623but 3,200 deathsfrom treatable diseases00:35:38.623 --> 00:35:40.040taking place in neighborhoods00:35:40.040 --> 00:35:42.749just due south and westfrom here00:35:42.749 --> 00:35:45.039are barely considered.00:35:45.707 --> 00:35:49.498And that's when I startedGoogling "disaster"00:35:50.039 --> 00:35:52.874Which led meto disaster prevention00:35:52.874 --> 00:35:55.957- To guarantee good health,you need clean water.00:35:55.957 --> 00:35:59.707- It filters about a gallonevery five minutes.00:35:59.707 --> 00:36:01.749- To "disaster preparedness,"00:36:01.749 --> 00:36:04.123which I soon learnedis one of our nation's00:36:04.123 --> 00:36:05.457most dynamicgrowth industries.00:36:05.457 --> 00:36:08.665- Let's start off by talkingabout emergency food,00:36:08.665 --> 00:36:11.915packaged to last 25 years.00:36:11.915 --> 00:36:16.039- And finally "disasterpreparedness Chicago"00:36:16.039 --> 00:36:18.832[helicopter rotors whirring]00:36:18.832 --> 00:36:20.415Which is how I learnedthat Cook County00:36:20.415 --> 00:36:23.039was about to show offits latest innovations00:36:23.039 --> 00:36:26.039in government-fundeddisaster preparedness.00:36:26.039 --> 00:36:30.540- This year, Cook Countywill share $47.7 million00:36:30.540 --> 00:36:34.665in urban area securityinitiative grant funds.00:36:34.665 --> 00:36:37.415- What you're gonna seeis just a handful of resources00:36:37.415 --> 00:36:40.039that are mainly paid forthrough federal grants.00:36:40.039 --> 00:36:42.290- Over here is a mobileventilation unit.00:36:42.290 --> 00:36:45.165We can clear an areaunbelievably efficiently00:36:45.165 --> 00:36:46.623using these machines.00:36:46.623 --> 00:36:47.540Mobile warehouse.00:36:47.540 --> 00:36:50.331Seven semitrailerseach with 18,000 items00:36:50.331 --> 00:36:53.081of things we neededfor the first 72 hours.00:36:53.081 --> 00:36:55.665Unified command vehicle.00:36:55.874 --> 00:37:00.039- I started getting into thiswhole question about disaster00:37:00.039 --> 00:37:02.123because of the 1995 heat wave.00:37:02.123 --> 00:37:05.165- A lot of thingsthat are in place today00:37:05.165 --> 00:37:06.373were a result of lessons00:37:06.373 --> 00:37:08.039learned from the 1995heat wave.00:37:08.039 --> 00:37:10.957If you remember 1995,we were keeping bodies00:37:10.957 --> 00:37:14.540in refrigerated food trucks.00:37:14.540 --> 00:37:17.665We now have a vehiclethat's specifically made00:37:17.665 --> 00:37:18.498for this task.00:37:18.498 --> 00:37:20.957The victim would be putinto this vehicle.00:37:20.957 --> 00:37:23.206We can hold 27 victims.00:37:23.206 --> 00:37:28.248We can chill this unitdown to 32 degrees.00:37:28.248 --> 00:37:30.039- Which is basicallya refrigerated00:37:30.039 --> 00:37:31.749morgue on wheels?00:37:31.749 --> 00:37:33.498- Yeah, I wouldn't put thatin the press.00:37:33.498 --> 00:37:35.999I-I'd flower it upa little better, but yes.00:37:35.999 --> 00:37:37.640- What would you say?00:37:37.640 --> 00:37:41.639- That's a victimcontainment system.00:37:42.015 --> 00:37:43.639- That victimcontainment system00:37:43.639 --> 00:37:46.639was just one of many big,shiny new trucks00:37:46.639 --> 00:37:48.557at this county event.00:37:48.557 --> 00:37:51.557Multiply thatby 3,142 counties00:37:51.557 --> 00:37:54.098or county equivalentsin the United States00:37:54.098 --> 00:37:56.973currently gearing upfor future disasters,00:37:56.973 --> 00:37:59.390and you startto get the picture.00:37:59.390 --> 00:38:00.639Disaster preparedness00:38:00.639 --> 00:38:04.223is a very well-resourcedendeavor.00:38:05.057 --> 00:38:06.806But what if it was possibleto repurpose00:38:06.806 --> 00:38:10.681this massive infrastructure,which already operates00:38:10.681 --> 00:38:13.890on local, regional,and national levels,00:38:13.890 --> 00:38:15.848and put it in serviceof communities00:38:15.848 --> 00:38:18.639struck by unnatural disasters?00:38:18.639 --> 00:38:21.973That was the questionon my mind when I found out00:38:21.973 --> 00:38:24.474about a disasterpreparedness conference00:38:24.474 --> 00:38:28.349taking place just two states,one floodplain,00:38:28.349 --> 00:38:31.639and one seismic fault lineaway from Chicago,00:38:31.639 --> 00:38:33.098in Paducah, Kentucky.00:38:33.098 --> 00:38:35.26500:38:35.265 --> 00:38:36.639- It's all aboutdisaster preparedness.00:38:36.639 --> 00:38:38.140We're talkingabout ice storms,00:38:38.140 --> 00:38:39.765a big earthquakethat could happen here00:38:39.765 --> 00:38:40.639on the New Madrid Fault.00:38:40.639 --> 00:38:42.057We've got peoplefrom FEMA here,00:38:42.057 --> 00:38:45.432from the Red Cross,from the USGS.00:38:45.432 --> 00:38:47.89000:38:47.890 --> 00:38:50.057- Judith Helfand.00:38:50.973 --> 00:38:52.223- Yes.- All right.00:38:52.223 --> 00:38:52.806- [laughs]00:38:52.806 --> 00:38:56.515- This is the map of the areathat we were covering.00:38:56.515 --> 00:38:58.557It's--- Six Midwest states,00:38:58.557 --> 00:39:01.015where the New Madridearthquake zone is.00:39:01.015 --> 00:39:01.848- If it was really bad,00:39:01.848 --> 00:39:03.639where would they get hiton your shirt?00:39:03.639 --> 00:39:05.639- Oh, it'd be, like,the whole Midwest.00:39:05.639 --> 00:39:09.681All the bridges you crossedgetting here will all be gone.00:39:09.681 --> 00:39:11.474- If you don't knowwhat the plan is,00:39:11.474 --> 00:39:12.723you may not have a plan.00:39:12.723 --> 00:39:15.806I'm not hereto scare you to death.00:39:15.806 --> 00:39:18.057I can, but I won't.00:39:18.257 --> 00:39:20.757- Catastrophic iceis pretty much the worst.00:39:20.757 --> 00:39:25.715- Lightning has killed at least67 people in the United States.00:39:25.715 --> 00:39:26.839[electricity buzzing]00:39:26.839 --> 00:39:29.382- After a day and a halfof lectures,00:39:29.382 --> 00:39:33.839keynotes, and workshops,one thing was pretty clear.00:39:33.839 --> 00:39:36.298Disaster preparednessis a luxury.00:39:36.298 --> 00:39:38.340It's for communitieswho are stable enough00:39:38.340 --> 00:39:41.423in the presentto worry about the future.00:39:41.423 --> 00:39:43.549- I've got a preparedness kit.00:39:43.549 --> 00:39:47.173- But what if you can'teven conceive of a to-go kit00:39:47.173 --> 00:39:51.048because you need a "to getthrough the week" kit?00:39:51.048 --> 00:39:53.21500:39:53.215 --> 00:39:57.006This is the disasterthat I started working on.00:39:57.006 --> 00:39:59.465It's a heat death map.00:39:59.465 --> 00:40:01.382These gray areasare the poorest00:40:01.382 --> 00:40:02.965sort of neighborhoodsin the city.00:40:02.965 --> 00:40:05.131- Mm-hmm.- So here's the big question.00:40:05.131 --> 00:40:12.715What if we redefine disasteras extreme pernicious poverty?00:40:12.715 --> 00:40:13.839- Hmm.00:40:15.507 --> 00:40:18.048- I didn't want to makeanyone uncomfortable00:40:18.048 --> 00:40:19.131[both chuckle]00:40:19.131 --> 00:40:20.923But, frankly,who's comfortable00:40:20.923 --> 00:40:23.465talking about raceand class?00:40:23.465 --> 00:40:26.006And even though I knewI might be putting some people00:40:26.006 --> 00:40:30.006on the spot,I couldn't resist trying.00:40:30.006 --> 00:40:33.173Isn't there a way to just thinkabout economic development00:40:33.173 --> 00:40:34.839as disaster preparedness?00:40:34.839 --> 00:40:37.131- If you're asking me,can emergency management00:40:37.131 --> 00:40:40.839solve the poverty issues,I can tell you, no,00:40:40.839 --> 00:40:43.923'cause the systems that we havenow are all about,00:40:43.923 --> 00:40:46.507we've had a major disaster,come back in,00:40:46.507 --> 00:40:48.839and restore that communityto like it was.00:40:48.839 --> 00:40:52.423In fact, the FEMA regulationssay, "Like it was. [laughs]00:22:21.923 --> 00:22:23.839- Here you go right here!00:22:23.839 --> 00:22:27.54900:22:27.549 --> 00:22:28.839- Turning it back off now.00:22:28.839 --> 00:22:31.839- Why y'all wantto turn it off for?00:22:32.382 --> 00:22:35.090[indistinct chatter]00:22:37.715 --> 00:22:44.42300:22:46.274 --> 00:22:47.523- A decade afterthe heat wave,00:22:47.523 --> 00:22:50.107Eric Klinenberg was stilltrying to get people00:22:50.107 --> 00:22:53.439to learn the core lessonof that disaster.00:22:53.439 --> 00:22:56.107- Ten years ago,more than 700 Chicagoans00:22:56.107 --> 00:22:56.982died in the heat wave,00:22:56.982 --> 00:22:59.439but you say that's notreally the entire story?00:22:59.439 --> 00:23:01.940What you wanted to knowwere the underlying00:23:01.940 --> 00:23:03.857social, human dimensionsto this, right?00:23:03.857 --> 00:23:04.982- That's right,we have this term,00:23:04.982 --> 00:23:07.439a natural disaster,that we're all familiar with.00:23:07.439 --> 00:23:08.731There's certainlynothing natural00:23:08.731 --> 00:23:09.481about the way they died.00:23:09.481 --> 00:23:13.107What I'm more concerned aboutis our collective failure00:23:13.107 --> 00:23:15.940to addressthat everyday crisis,00:23:15.940 --> 00:23:18.149the disaster in slow motion,if you will.00:23:18.149 --> 00:23:20.940And my biggest concern nowis that if we refuse00:23:20.940 --> 00:23:22.690to come to termswith this crisis,00:23:22.690 --> 00:23:26.232we'll doom ourselvesto experience it again.00:23:26.232 --> 00:23:28.107[dramatic music]00:23:28.107 --> 00:23:29.898- And we did.00:23:29.898 --> 00:23:32.065Just six weeksafter that interview,00:23:32.065 --> 00:23:35.523the crisis we refused to cometo terms with in Chicago00:23:35.523 --> 00:23:41.232repeated itself in New Orleansand all along the Gulf Coast.00:23:41.232 --> 00:23:45.64800:23:45.648 --> 00:23:48.731Like millions of others,I spent that Labor Day weekend00:23:48.731 --> 00:23:54.315watching whole neighborhoodsdisappear underwater.00:23:55.731 --> 00:23:57.439- We're gonna talkabout something else00:23:57.439 --> 00:23:58.523before the show's over too,00:23:58.523 --> 00:24:00.857and that's the big elephantin the room:00:24:00.857 --> 00:24:03.440the race and economic classof most of the victims,00:24:03.440 --> 00:24:07.065which the media hasn'tdiscussed much at all.00:24:07.439 --> 00:24:11.648- What had seemed to me to bea one-time tragedy in Chicago00:24:11.648 --> 00:24:15.690all at once becamean appalling trend.00:24:15.690 --> 00:24:17.898And this movie,which started out00:24:17.898 --> 00:24:20.439being about onespecific heat disaster,00:24:20.439 --> 00:24:24.773turned into something morecomplicated and uncomfortable,00:24:24.773 --> 00:24:27.357about the impactof generations' worth00:24:27.357 --> 00:24:29.523of racism and denial.00:24:29.523 --> 00:24:32.523- What's the guesstimate costof rebuilding those levees?00:24:32.523 --> 00:24:37.731- The bill is $2.9 billion,which will give us--00:24:37.731 --> 00:24:39.274send us a long wayto, you know,00:24:39.274 --> 00:24:40.606repairing and upgradingthe levees,00:24:40.606 --> 00:24:42.315making them realCategory 3 protection,00:24:42.315 --> 00:24:45.439which apparently they weren't,we learned the hard way.00:24:45.439 --> 00:24:51.43900:24:51.439 --> 00:24:52.439- Back in Chicago,00:24:52.439 --> 00:24:54.815where it was predictedthat by 2050,00:24:54.815 --> 00:24:57.190the weather would feel morelike Baton Rouge,00:24:57.190 --> 00:25:01.107Mayor Daley inaugurated hisofficial climate action plan,00:25:01.107 --> 00:25:05.023starting witha $2.5-million project00:25:05.023 --> 00:25:07.523built on top of City Hall.00:25:07.523 --> 00:25:08.773- So what you'll seebehind me here00:25:08.773 --> 00:25:11.565is actually the green roofon City Hall.00:25:11.565 --> 00:25:14.023We're 12 storiesabove the city,00:25:14.023 --> 00:25:16.232and as you can tell,it's kind of like a prairie.00:25:16.232 --> 00:25:17.523I mean, you can hearthe crickets.00:25:17.523 --> 00:25:18.940You can see the butterflies.00:25:18.940 --> 00:25:21.648There are birdsthat live up here.00:25:21.648 --> 00:25:24.357So what we've done here--we've created00:25:24.357 --> 00:25:26.439an urban heat island map.00:25:26.439 --> 00:25:28.107We can see the hot spots,00:25:28.107 --> 00:25:30.232and then we plant treesin those areas,00:25:30.232 --> 00:25:33.149'cause one mature treehas the air-conditioning effect00:25:33.149 --> 00:25:36.399of 12 room-sizeair-conditioners.00:25:36.399 --> 00:25:41.898So these strategies providereal cooling of the city.00:25:41.898 --> 00:25:49.23200:25:54.399 --> 00:25:58.399- You know, we're prettyfar away from City Hall.00:25:58.690 --> 00:26:01.898You know, I don't knowabout any rooftop gardens00:26:01.898 --> 00:26:03.940out here.00:26:03.940 --> 00:26:07.31500:26:07.315 --> 00:26:08.731This is the blockthat I lived on00:26:08.731 --> 00:26:14.439from the time I was 1 or 2years old till I was about 14.00:26:14.439 --> 00:26:18.439Used to be a church herethat burned down.00:26:18.439 --> 00:26:21.065Used to be a house here.00:26:22.439 --> 00:26:26.565This house was next doorto where we lived,00:26:26.565 --> 00:26:29.481and we lived right here.00:26:29.982 --> 00:26:35.439And this whole blockwas full of houses.00:26:35.439 --> 00:26:39.06500:26:39.065 --> 00:26:40.190Summer day like today,00:26:40.190 --> 00:26:43.149when I was growing uparound here,00:26:43.149 --> 00:26:46.274would be full of people,kids playing,00:26:46.274 --> 00:26:48.815adults comingto and from work.00:26:48.815 --> 00:26:52.357It was justa vibrant place to be.00:26:54.023 --> 00:26:56.439There were two movie theaters.00:26:56.439 --> 00:26:58.481There was a Sears store.00:26:58.481 --> 00:27:00.065Hillman's grocery store.00:27:00.065 --> 00:27:02.399I used to get the listfrom my mom,00:27:02.399 --> 00:27:05.690and I'd walk up hereand get whatever she wanted.00:27:05.690 --> 00:27:08.98200:27:08.982 --> 00:27:13.023It's just beenan incredible 50-plus years00:27:13.023 --> 00:27:17.232of watching what happensto a community.00:27:17.232 --> 00:27:18.98200:27:18.982 --> 00:27:21.439If the heat wave happenedwhen I was growing up,00:27:21.439 --> 00:27:25.481I think the outcome wouldhave been a lot different.00:27:25.481 --> 00:27:27.773When it got really hot,people would sleep00:27:27.773 --> 00:27:31.357on the back porchor sleep in the

them.00:03:35.299 --> 00:03:36.633But I didn't alwayslook at disaster00:03:36.633 --> 00:03:40.299through the lens of privilegeor lack of it.00:03:40.299 --> 00:03:43.383That all started with a bookI
