New App Helps Chatham Residents Dealing With Flooding
Update: 2025-01-27
Description
Chicago and Cook County received more than $670 million in federal relief funding earlier this month for flooding caused by record storms in 2023 and 2024. The flooding caused damage in tens of thousands of homes in Cook County as homeowners filed for flood assistance. But few neighborhoods got hit as hard as Chicago’s Chatham on the South Side. Now, UChicago fourth-year Ph.D. student Kelly Wagman is leading a project and app design to help Chatham homeowners dealing with flooding in their neighborhoods. Reset spoke with Wagman as well as Nedra Sims-Fears, the executive director of Greater Chatham Initiative, to learn more.
