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.
