Join the Greater Chatham Initiative on March 29, 10am-12pm at 639 E. 87th St to help research flooding in our community.
About this Event

At this meeting, you'll discover:

  • The launch of the new "Water On My Block" Greater Chatham Flood App, created in partnership with UChicago and GCI, designed for reporting flooding and providing helpful resources.
  • How you can track rainfall using rain gauges and soil sensors (you'll get to take one home!).
  • How to request a tree planting for your property or neighborhood via 311.
  • A live weather balloon launch demonstration.

This research campaign is in collaboration with Argonne National Laboratory, UIC, and Chicago State University, and we need your help in gathering critical data on flooding in Greater Chatham. Participants who commit to the full 6-week campaign will receive a $100 stipend.

This initiative will help us advocate for necessary infrastructure improvements and policy changes to reduce flooding and protect our community from its damaging effects.

Don’t miss out—register today! If you can’t attend but want to get involved, contact Dion Turner at or 773-644-1451.

Together, we can make Greater Chatham safer and stronger!
