In 1995 Chicago was hit by a record-breaking heat wave, so hot that the lives of 739 residents were lost in a single week; mostly poor, African-American, and elderly residents. Originally it was meant to be about one extreme weather event (during which temperatures were in the 100s in the day, fell only to the low 80s at night, and the humidity was high), and its effect on the most vulnerable in the city. Richard Roeper, Chicago Sun Times'Remembering not just the consequences of past socially created disasters, but also the causes, is a central challenge facing governments and individuals alike. A life and death story about extreme heat, the politics of "disaster" and survival by zip code. Listen to the discussionhere. So the question is, a Chicago official asks, did people die of the heat, or did they die of the social conditions in these neighborhoods, and the answer is both. Helfand examines and mocks the futility of task force reports, emergency plans, disaster preparedness, rehearsals for tornadoes and other calamities, when these ignore the racism and poverty that cause people to suffer so unequally.
