John Hauser "57600:30:09,810 --> 00:30:13,239It's true, but it's farmore true for some areas57700:30:13,240 --> 00:30:15,429than others,and that kind of language57800:30:15,430 --> 00:30:17,939just obscures what'shappening in the city.57900:30:17,940 --> 00:30:21,089It makes it impossiblefor us to understand58000:30:21,090 --> 00:30:22,229what happened here.58100:30:22,230 --> 00:30:25,189If this were a storyabout what cities can do58200:30:25,190 --> 00:30:29,479in an acute emergency toprevent heatwave deaths,58300:30:29,480 --> 00:30:31,409it'd be an open and shut case.58400:30:31,410 --> 00:30:33,059But it's a much deeperstory than that.58500:30:33,060 --> 00:30:36,559It's a story about thesedeeper social fault lines58600:30:36,560 --> 00:30:39,559that make some membersof a city vulnerable58700:30:39,560 --> 00:30:42,819and keep others protectedand blissfully ignorant58800:30:42,820 --> 00:30:45,329about what's happeningto people who live58900:30:45,330 --> 00:30:47,131quite close to them.59000:30:47,132 --> 00:30:50,299(light digital music)59100:30:56,910 --> 00:30:59,349We want to make surethat all Chicagoans59200:30:59,350 --> 00:31:01,860take appropriateprecautions

temperatures59600:31:09,780 --> 00:31:13,819start to rise, the city rollsout its heat emergency plan,59700:31:13,820 --> 00:31:16,979which over the years hasbecome a model for other cities59800:31:16,980 --> 00:31:20,719also struggling to adaptto an ever-warming world.59900:31:20,720 --> 00:31:22,659The plan includes amulti-million dollar60000:31:22,660 --> 00:31:26,479emergency command center,reverse-911 calls,60100:31:26,480 --> 00:31:28,379and vigorous public messaging.60200:31:28,380 --> 00:31:31,239We really need eachand every neighbour,60300:31:31,240 -->

--> 00:32:03,989We could call it a povertyemergency plan instead61200:32:03,990 --> 00:32:07,433or a remedyingsocial evils plan,61300:32:08,306 --> 00:32:10,435I wouldn't mind those things61400:32:10,460 --> 00:32:14,283that got more to the rootcauses of the situation.61500:32:15,210 --> 00:32:18,989The underlying dynamic inthose same communities,61600:32:18,990 --> 00:32:20,959things like racism and poverty,61700:32:20,960 --> 00:32:24,909which determined who would liveand die during the heatwave,61800:32:24,910 --> 00:32:27,213of course continue to exist now.61900:32:27,909 --> 00:32:29,827[Judith] Do you thinkthey're addressing that?62000:32:29,828 --> 00:32:33,849Do I think the city isaddressing the extreme poverty62100:32:33,850 --> 00:32:36,399in communities ofcolor in Chicago,62200:32:36,400 --> 00:32:38,168is that what you're asking me?62300:32:38,169 --> 00:32:39,292(laughing)62400:32:40,372 --> 00:32:41,697Don't be ridiculous.62500:32:44,390 --> 00:32:47,557(children chattering)62600:32:52,330 --> 00:32:55,580(relaxed upbeat music)62700:33:19,424 --> 00:33:22,321[Man] Gonna stayout of the water

00:33:34,279Everybody back upoff each other.63200:33:34,280 --> 00:33:36,665[Child] Why y'allwanna turn it off for?63300:33:36,666 --> 00:33:38,835(people chattering)63400:33:38,836 --> 00:33:40,795[Woman] It's low, it'slow, that's what it is.63500:33:45,605 --> 00:33:48,855(light, serious music)63600:33:55,956 --> 00:33:58,750[Judith] A decade afterthe heatwave, Eric Klinenberg63700:33:58,770 --> 00:34:01,290was still trying to get peopleto learn the core lesson63800:34:01,294 --> 00:34:02,667of that disaster.63900:34:03,310 --> 00:34:07,025{\an8}10 years ago, more than 700Chicagoans died in the heatwave.64000:34:07,050 --> 00:34:09,469{\an8}But you say that's notreally the entire story.64100:34:09,511 --> 00:34:12,825{\an8}What you wanted to knowwere the underlying social,64200:34:12,850 --> 00:34:14,175{\an8}human dimensions to this, right?64300:34:14,199 --> 00:34:15,867{\an8}That's right,we have this term, a natural64400:34:15,891 --> 00:34:17,370{\an8}disaster that we'reall familiar with.64500:34:17,394 --> 00:34:20,105{\an8}There's certainly nothingnatural about the way they died.64600:34:20,105 --> 00:34:23,076{\an8}What I'm more concerned aboutis our collective failure64700:34:23,100 --> 00:34:25,999{\an8}to address the everyday crisis,64800:34:26,000 --> 00:34:28,399{\an8}the disaster in slowmotion if you will.64900:34:28,400 --> 00:34:30,209{\an8}If we look too muchfor the scapegoat65000:34:30,210 --> 00:34:31,849{\an8}we'll misleadourselves into thinking65100:34:31,850 --> 00:34:33,784{\an8}we're not all kind ofaccountable in some way.65200:34:34,191 --> 00:34:36,809And my biggest concernnow is that if we refuse65300:34:36,810 --> 00:34:38,859to come to termswith this crisis,65400:34:38,860 --> 00:34:41,869we'll doom ourselvesto experience it again.65500:34:41,870 --> 00:34:43,469(deep, somber music)65600:34:43,470 --> 00:34:45,059[Judith] And we did.65700:34:45,060 --> 00:34:47,409Just six weeks afterthat interview,65800:34:47,410 --> 00:34:50,909the crisis we refused tocome to terms with in Chicago65900:34:50,910 --> 00:34:54,879repeated itself in New Orleansand all along the Gulf Coast66000:34:54,880 --> 00:34:58,873while the whole country,and much of the world, watched.66100:35:00,346 --> 00:35:03,545{\an8}(slow, somber music)66200:35:03,570 --> 00:35:06,459{\an8}Like millions of others,I spent that Labor Day weekend66300:35:06,460 --> 00:35:09,789{\an8}glued to the television set,watching whole neighborhoods66400:35:09,790 --> 00:35:11,593{\an8}disappear under water.66500:35:15,060 --> 00:35:18,249One natural disaster,plus crumbling flood walls66600:35:18,250 --> 00:35:20,859in the city's mostvulnerable neighborhoods,66700:35:20,860 --> 00:35:24,687added up to one bignational revelation.66800:35:24,711 --> 00:35:26,091We're gonna talk about something66900:35:26,115 --> 00:35:27,349else before the show's over too,67000:35:27,350 --> 00:35:29,599and that's the bigelephant in the room,67100:35:29,600 --> 00:35:32,729the race and economic classof most of the victims,67200:35:32,730 --> 00:35:35,689which the media hasn'tdiscussed much at all,67300:35:35,690 --> 00:35:37,003but we will a bit later.67400:35:39,080 --> 00:35:41,559[Judith] What had seemed tome to be a one-time tragedy67500:35:41,560 --> 00:35:45,623in Chicago, all at oncebecame an appalling trend.67600:35:48,050 --> 00:35:50,393Life and deathdetermined by zip code.67700:35:52,780 --> 00:35:55,439And this movie,which started out being about67800:35:55,440 --> 00:35:59,599one specific heat disaster,turned into something else,67900:35:59,600 --> 00:36:01,850something more complicatedand uncomfortable.68000:36:03,260 --> 00:36:06,803About the impact of generationsworth of racism and denial.68100:36:08,910 --> 00:36:13,019Denial that even after Katrina,was still going strong.68200:36:13,020 --> 00:36:15,869What's the guesstimate costof rebuilding those levies?68300:36:15,870 --> 00:36:20,479The bill is $2.9 billion,which will give us,68400:36:20,480 --> 00:36:23,579send us a long way to repairingand upgrading the levies,68500:36:23,580 --> 00:36:25,569making them real categorythree protection,68600:36:25,570 --> 00:36:28,233which apparently they weren't,we learned the hard way.68700:36:29,499 --> 00:36:32,582(slow, somber music)68800:36:34,940 --> 00:36:37,289[Judith] Back in Chicago,where it was predicted68900:36:37,290 --> 00:36:41,199that by 2050 the weather wouldfeel more like Baton Rouge,69000:36:41,200 --> 00:36:44,759Mayor Daley inaugurated hisofficial climate action plan,69100:36:44,760 --> 00:36:48,519starting with a $2.5million project,69200:36:48,520 --> 00:36:50,026built on top of city hall.69300:36:50,590 --> 00:36:53,089{\an8}So what you'll seebehind me here is actually69400:36:53,090 --> 00:36:54,699{\an8}the green roof on city hall.69500:36:54,700 --> 00:36:58,359{\an8}We're 12 stories above thecity, and as you can tell,69600:36:58,360 --> 00:37:00,559{\an8}it's kinda like a prairie,you can hear the crickets,69700:37:00,560 --> 00:37:02,109{\an8}you can see the butterflies,69800:37:02,110 --> 00:37:03,810{\an8}there are birdsthat live up here.69900:37:05,088 --> 00:37:07,839So what we've donehere, and I'll show you,70000:37:07,840 --> 00:37:10,539we've created anurban heat island map.70100:37:10,540 --> 00:37:12,539We can see the hot spots70200:37:12,540 --> 00:37:14,869and then we planttrees in those areas.70300:37:14,870 --> 00:37:17,469'Cause one mature tree hasthe air conditioning effect70400:37:17,470 --> 00:37:20,889of 12 room-sizeair conditioners.70500:37:20,890 --> 00:37:23,479So these strategiesprovide a huge impact70600:37:23,480 --> 00:37:27,069in actually realcooling of the city.70700:37:27,070 --> 00:37:30,237(light digital music)70800:37:40,980 --> 00:37:43,053We're pretty faraway from city hall.70900:37:46,650 --> 00:37:49,050{\an8}I don't know about anyrooftop gardens out here.71000:37:50,489 --> 00:37:53,656(light digital music)71100:37:57,810 --> 00:38:00,269This is the blockthat I lived on71200:38:00,270 --> 00:38:03,119from the time I wasone or two years old71300:38:03,120 --> 00:38:04,713till I was about 14.71400:38:05,690 --> 00:38:08,273Used to be a churchhere that burned down.71500:38:09,518 --> 00:38:10,903Used to be a house here.71600:38:13,600 --> 00:38:16,593This house was nextdoor to where we lived,71700:38:17,630 --> 00:38:19,623and we lived right here.71800:38:21,540 --> 00:38:24,687And this whole blockwas full of houses.71900:38:27,230 --> 00:38:30,859I can start to evensee the faces of people72000:38:30,860 --> 00:38:32,033that I grew up with.72100:38:33,400 --> 00:38:37,029Summer day like today, whenI was growing up around here,72200:38:37,030 --> 00:38:39,939would be full ofpeople out and about.72300:38:39,940 --> 00:38:44,123Kids playing,adults coming to and from work.72400:38:50,410 --> 00:38:53,023There were all kinds ofthings up and down Halsted.72500:38:55,130 --> 00:38:57,529It was this vibrant place to be,72600:38:57,530 --> 00:38:59,253there were two movie theaters.72700:39:01,032 --> 00:39:03,959There was a Sears store,and in the basement,72800:39:03,960 --> 00:39:05,210Hellmann's grocery store.72900:39:06,470 --> 00:39:08,939I used to get thelist from my mom,73000:39:08,940 --> 00:39:11,553and then I'd walk up hereand get whatever she wanted.73100:39:14,120 --> 00:39:17,409Only downtown hadmore economic activity73200:39:17,410 --> 00:39:19,983than the 63rd andHalsted Street corridor.73300:39:21,740 --> 00:39:25,719It's just been anincredible 50 plus years73400:39:25,720 --> 00:39:28,153of watching whathappens to a community.73500:39:35,370 --> 00:39:37,819If the heatwave happenedwhen I was growing up,73600:39:37,820 --> 00:39:40,373I think the outcome would'vebeen a lot different.73700:39:41,860 --> 00:39:45,109When it got really hot, peoplewould sleep on the back porch73800:39:45,110 --> 00:39:46,293or sleep in the park.73900:39:47,520 --> 00:39:48,993People felt much safer.74000:39:50,050 --> 00:39:51,809I mean,imagine going from feeling like74100:39:51,810 --> 00:39:53,239you can go sleep in the park,74200:39:53,240 --> 00:39:56,040to feeling like you can'teven put a fan in your window.74300:40:02,030 --> 00:40:03,740Yeah, and some ofthis is privately owned74400:40:03,750 --> 00:40:08,750but a lot of this land isowned in fact by the city.74500:40:10,920 --> 00:40:13,903Just acres of vacant land.74600:40:16,590 --> 00:40:18,013Acres of potential.74700:40:21,702 --> 00:40:24,952(gentle, solemn music)74800:40:46,570 --> 00:40:49,733Every day I cutbetween 25 to 30 lots.74900:40:50,720 --> 00:40:54,640Rats and mice and people canhide off in these bushes.75000:40:55,440 --> 00:40:57,440{\an8}And this type ofneighbourhood over here,75100:40:58,430 --> 00:41:00,483{\an8}they can break outand get a hold of you.75200:41:04,180 --> 00:41:07,199The richer theneighbourhood, the less lots.75300:41:07,200 --> 00:41:09,759Like in Pill Hill,there's no lots.75400:41:09,760 --> 00:41:12,569Maybe two or three,but over here,75500:41:12,570 --> 00:41:14,533we got maybe about 2,000 lots.75600:41:15,770 --> 00:41:18,539[Judith] Since 2005,the city of Chicago75700:41:18,540 --> 00:41:21,019has spent well over $20 million75800:41:21,020 --> 00:41:23,943on maintaining overgrownand abandoned lots.75900:41:27,360 --> 00:41:28,529I have one question.76000:41:28,530 --> 00:41:31,459What can you imagine themdoing with these empty lots?76100:41:31,460 --> 00:41:33,893Honestly,around my house they rebuild.76200:41:34,920 --> 00:41:36,233Put Section 8s back up.76300:41:37,070 --> 00:41:38,613But that's the bestI could think of.76400:41:39,620 --> 00:41:41,719All right, but I got toget back to work, you all.76500:41:41,720 -->

--> 00:42:15,759and the slow motiondisaster that's unfolding77300:42:15,760 --> 00:42:19,423in those communities, can betraced back to another map.77400:42:20,320 --> 00:42:23,729This one, created by theFederal Housing Administration77500:42:23,730 --> 00:42:24,883in 1940.77600:42:25,760 --> 00:42:28,109The neighborhoods whereblack people had settled77700:42:28,110 --> 00:42:31,369were shaded in red,and declared ineligible77800:42:31,370 --> 00:42:34,019for federally-insured loans.77900:42:34,020 --> 00:42:36,349The only way peoplecould buy a home78000:42:36,350 --> 00:42:39,149was through a practicecalled contract buying,78100:42:39,150 --> 00:42:41,249which was essentiallya high risk,78200:42:41,250 --> 00:42:43,351and usurious installment plan.78300:42:43,352 --> 00:42:46,269(person whistling)78400:42:47,360 --> 00:42:49,109[Orrin] Whitespeculators bought homes78500:42:49,110 --> 00:42:51,469and then resold themto black families78600:42:51,470 --> 00:42:53,959for two or threetimes their value.78700:42:53,960 --> 00:42:56,149But the black familydidn't own the house78800:42:56,150 --> 00:42:57,823until they fully paid it off.78900:42:59,610 --> 00:43:02,539If I have you in a contract79000:43:02,540 --> 00:43:05,989and things go along and youget laid off from your job79100:43:05,990 --> 00:43:08,079or you miss a month,you could do it on one month,79200:43:08,080 --> 00:43:10,209or miss two months,then you're outta that house,79300:43:10,210 --> 00:43:13,479I evict you, and then I canrecontract that same house79400:43:13,480 --> 00:43:14,523to another family.79500:43:18,440 --> 00:43:20,719[Orrin] Most people hadto work two or three jobs79600:43:20,720 --> 00:43:21,903to make the payments.79700:43:23,370 --> 00:43:26,410Often, they couldn't affordto maintain the houses79800:43:27,652 --> 00:43:31,226so a lot of those structuresneeded to be torn down.79900:43:32,970 --> 00:43:35,259So when the federalgovernment made it illegal80000:43:35,260 --> 00:43:37,909to give mortgages inthe black communities,80100:43:37,910 --> 00:43:39,369it was a political decision80200:43:39,370 --> 00:43:41,327to disinvest fromthose communities.80300:43:42,410 --> 00:43:44,539You have banksmaking the decision,80400:43:44,540 --> 00:43:46,849your house isn't worthreplacing the windows,80500:43:46,850 --> 00:43:49,468so we're not

changesin manufacturing.81100:44:04,930 --> 00:44:07,803You don't have steel workersin Englewood anymore.81200:44:09,630 --> 00:44:12,733You don't have people working atCampbell Soup factory anymore.81300:44:14,230 --> 00:44:16,529Then what happens is,your community sinks.81400:44:16,530 --> 00:44:17,709It doesn't happen overnight,81500:44:17,710 --> 00:44:22,333but it happens,certainly, at a pace.81600:44:27,060 --> 00:44:28,870[Jeremiah] Come on'round here, Cass.81700:44:28,871 --> 00:44:29,871Come on.81800:44:32,903 --> 00:44:34,398[Colleen] All right, you ready?81900:44:34,399 -->

justcount 'em as you go.82700:44:57,040 --> 00:44:58,592That's number three.82800:45:01,162 --> 00:45:05,029This is number four, and it'sright next to the school.82900:45:05,054 --> 00:45:07,229If my daughter wasto go to school here,83000:45:07,230 --> 00:45:09,922she would have to walk pastall these abandoned buildings.83100:45:09,923 --> 00:45:12,279- Just to get to school.- Just to get to the school.83200:45:13,675 --> 00:45:15,177- Wait a minute.- This one right here.83300:45:15,201 --> 00:45:16,486Now, did you see that?83400:45:16,510 --> 00:45:20,679This building righthere, come on now,83500:45:20,680 --> 00:45:23,387a school surrounded byabandoned buildings?83600:45:25,437 --> 00:45:27,600That don't make no damn sense.83700:45:28,542 --> 00:45:31,625(slow, somber music)83800:45:43,400 --> 00:45:47,783It's just you don't reallyeven think about it,83900:45:49,002 --> 00:45:52,759or really comprehend it I guess,84000:45:52,760 --> 00:45:56,029until you have to explainit to somebody else.84100:45:56,030 --> 00:45:59,933Then it's like,it's just right in your face.84200:46:02,349 --> 00:46:05,141I was upset aboutthose right there.84300:46:05,159 --> 00:46:08,023Look at that, boarded up.84400:46:09,180 --> 00:46:11,939All, the school is surrounded.84500:46:11,940 --> 00:46:15,029What do you think about whenyou see abandoned property?84600:46:15,030 --> 00:46:18,253It's abandoned,forgot about, left out.84700:46:32,890 --> 00:46:35,419None of this is rocket science.84800:46:35,420 --> 00:46:39,729We all know what it takes tomake a healthy neighbourhood.84900:46:39,730 --> 00:46:42,359It doesn't require you tohave mansions on the street.85000:46:42,360 --> 00:46:44,889It requires you to havethe grocery stores,85100:46:44,890 --> 00:46:47,259the coffee shops,the restaurants,85200:46:47,260 --> 00:46:49,509the beauty parlors,the barbershops.85300:46:49,510 --> 00:46:52,669These are all institutionsthat help make streets safe,85400:46:52,670 --> 00:46:54,839they provide places forpeople to go for help.85500:46:54,840 --> 00:46:57,139They provide places,certainly in the wintertime85600:46:57,140 --> 00:46:59,899and summertime,for cooling and heating.85700:46:59,900 --> 00:47:02,983(slow, somber music)85800:47:10,130 --> 00:47:15,156This map is in a sense,an exemplar or a model85900:47:15,180 --> 00:47:20,099of all of those issuescoming together in one place.86000:47:20,100 --> 00:47:23,553For example, communities thathave no supermarkets in them.86100:47:24,560 --> 00:47:28,769If you map out vacantlots, violent crime rates,86200:47:28,770 --> 00:47:33,770was it diabetes, breastcancer, and on and on and on.86300:47:35,390 --> 00:47:40,099And so, map after map aftermap shows the distribution86400:47:40,100 --> 00:47:43,403of the highest mortality andmorbidity throughout the city.86500:47:46,530 --> 00:47:49,109These are thingshuman beings created.86600:47:49,110 --> 00:47:52,709Let me be really clear,racism is not a disaster,86700:47:52,710 --> 00:47:55,949it's something that humanbeings invented and created86800:47:55,950 --> 00:47:57,489and keep healthy.86900:47:57,490 --> 00:48:00,229Segregation is somethinghuman beings invented,87000:48:00,230 --> 00:48:02,953specific human beingsfor specific purposes.87100:48:03,820 --> 00:48:05,609The health inequities that exist87200:48:05,610 --> 00:48:07,860are not accidents,they're created by people.87300:48:11,590 --> 00:48:14,409[Judith] So the slowmotion disaster in Chicago87400:48:14,410 --> 00:48:17,249was the direct resultof public policies87500:48:17,250 --> 00:48:21,573that effectively divided thecity into haves and have nots.87600:48:22,670 --> 00:48:26,349And it was precisely theselife and death inequalities87700:48:26,350 --> 00:48:29,869that motivated Dr. Whitmanto step down from his post87800:48:29,870 --> 00:48:32,789as the city's chiefepidemiologist,87900:48:32,790 --> 00:48:35,529to lead the SinaiUrban Health Institute.88000:48:35,530 --> 00:48:38,853His goal, to close thehealth disparity gap.88100:48:41,200 --> 00:48:43,219We've done study afterstudy and published it88200:48:43,220 --> 00:48:45,409in all of our mostprestigious journals,88300:48:45,410 --> 00:48:50,099showing not only that blackpeople and other poor people88400:48:50,100 --> 00:48:53,249have much worse health,but in fact that the differences88500:48:53,250 --> 00:48:56,379in health and measures ofhealth are growing worse88600:48:56,380 --> 00:48:59,019everywhere we look in Chicago.88700:48:59,020 --> 00:49:01,087And, the reason that'shappening is because88800:49:01,111 --> 00:49:03,280the rich are getting richer,the poor are getting poorer.88900:49:03,300 --> 00:49:05,079And the poor are notonly getting poorer,89000:49:05,080 --> 00:49:07,889but they're gettingsicker as well.89100:49:07,890 --> 00:49:11,170Life expectancy in the loop,where we're sitting now,89200:49:11,580 --> 00:49:14,709{\an8}is 81 years,and for black communities89300:49:14,734 --> 00:49:17,326{\an8}throughout Chicagoit was 65 years.89400:49:17,649 --> 00:49:21,16316 years differencein life expectancy89500:49:21,520 --> 00:49:24,399and you could walk fromone community to the other.89600:49:24,400 --> 00:49:26,809One of the strongestcorrelates of bad health89700:49:26,810 --> 00:49:28,929for black people,it's been shown over and over89800:49:28,930 --> 00:49:32,119in the literature,is segregation.89900:49:32,120 --> 00:49:34,669We are one of themost segregated cities90000:49:34,670 --> 00:49:35,773in the United States.90100:49:36,610 --> 00:49:40,369If black people in Chicagohad the same death rates90200:49:40,370 --> 00:49:44,649as white people,3,200 fewer black people90300:49:44,650 --> 00:49:47,369in just one yearwould have died.90400:49:47,370 --> 00:49:49,819What number is 3,200 like?90500:49:49,820 --> 00:49:54,307A very

dollars spent,91100:50:08,420 --> 00:50:12,379and yet, here's 3,000deaths in just one year.91200:50:12,380 --> 00:50:15,65910 years, that's 32,000 deaths,91300:50:15,660 --> 00:50:18,616just from

butthink about the disparity92000:50:47,270 --> 00:50:48,773Dr. The underlying dynamic in those same communities, which determined who would live and die during the heat wave, of course continue to exist now., He has a hard time not laughing bitterly.

00:51:10,669But if those 3,200preventable deaths in a year92700:51:10,670 --> 00:51:13,573aren't a disaster,I don't know what is.92800:51:16,746 --> 00:51:19,279And that's when I startedgoogling

vehiclethat's specifically made97000:53:14,660 --> 00:53:16,129for this task.97100:53:16,130 --> 00:53:18,149The victim would beput into this vehicle.97200:53:18,150 --> 00:53:20,033We can hold 27 victims.97300:53:20,940 --> 00:53:25,589We can chill this unitdown to 32 degrees.97400:53:25,590 --> 00:53:28,363[Judith] Which is basicallya refrigerated morgue on wheels?97500:53:29,400 --> 00:53:30,998Yeah, I wouldn'tput that in the press.97600:53:30,999 --> 00:53:33,289I'd flower it up alittle better, but yes.97700:53:33,290 --> 00:53:34,790[Judith] What would you say?97800:53:35,630 --> 00:53:38,063That's a victimcontainment system.97900:53:39,740 --> 00:53:41,639[Judith] That victimcontainment system98000:53:41,640 --> 00:53:44,309was just one of manybig shiny new trucks98100:53:44,310 --> 00:53:46,069at this county event.98200:53:46,070 --> 00:53:49,529Multiply that by 3,142 counties,98300:53:49,530 --> 00:53:52,069or county equivalentsin the United States98400:53:52,070 --> 00:53:54,812currently gearing upfor future disasters98500:53:54,837 --> 00:53:56,814and you start toget the picture.98600:53:56,823 --> 00:54:00,386Disaster preparedness is avery well-resourced endeavor.98700:54:03,730 --> 00:54:05,959But what if it waspossible to re-purpose98800:54:05,960 --> 00:54:09,659this massive infrastructure,which already operates98900:54:09,660 --> 00:54:12,699on local, regional,and national levels,99000:54:12,700 --> 00:54:14,609and put it in serviceof communities99100:54:14,610 --> 00:54:16,983struck by unnatural disasters?99200:54:18,660 --> 00:54:21,769What if we decided to useeven some of these resources99300:54:21,770 --> 00:54:25,463to keep people from dyingjust because they're poor?99400:54:28,160 --> 00:54:29,889That was the question on my mind99500:54:29,890 --> 00:54:33,099when I found out about adisaster preparedness conference99600:54:33,100 --> 00:54:36,619taking place just twostates, one floodplain,99700:54:36,620 --> 00:54:39,739and one seismic faultline away from Chicago99800:54:39,740 --> 00:54:40,993in Paducah, Kentucky.99900:54:42,600 --> 00:54:44,069It's all aboutdisaster preparedness.100000:54:44,070 --> 00:54:46,539We're talking about icestorms, a big earthquake100100:54:46,540 --> 00:54:48,329that could happen hereon the New Madrid fault,100200:54:48,330 --> 00:54:50,529as well as a slewof other disasters.100300:54:50,530 --> 00:54:53,109We've got people from FEMAhere, from the Red Cross,100400:54:53,110 --> 00:54:54,533from the USGS.100500:54:59,050 --> 00:55:00,064Judith Helfand.100600:55:01,760 --> 00:55:02,747- Yeah?- Yes.100700:55:02,748 --> 00:55:04,242[Judith] All right.
