Chicago Urban Flooding Resilience and Citizen Science

Urban flooding is a socioeconomic and environmental issue caused by a lack of drainage in urban areas. It causes a disturbance to daily life. Through the creation of a literature review and interviewing local residents, our STEP group will work to supply CNT with materials used to create more inclusive citizen science project data. Citizen science utilizes the public to gather and analyze research and data to understand the environmental problems and where they are located. Through this project, we empower communities to use their voices and provide a first-hand experience of the impacts of urban flooding in these communities
