them.00:32:29.982 --> 00:32:34.606If you map out vacant lots,violent crime rates,00:32:34.606 --> 00:32:38.315diabetes, breast cancer,00:32:38.315 --> 00:32:40.439and on and on and on00:32:40.439 -->

00:32:54.399- Let me be really clear.Racism is not a disaster.00:32:54.399 --> 00:32:56.898It's somethingthat human beings invented00:32:56.898 --> 00:32:59.023and created and keep healthy.00:32:59.023 --> 00:33:01.857Segregation is somethinghuman beings invented,00:33:01.857 --> 00:33:05.274specific human beings,for specific purposes.00:33:05.274 --> 00:33:08.399The health inequitiesthat exist are not accidents.00:33:08.399 --> 00:33:10.648They're created by people.00:33:11.773 --> 00:33:14.606- So the slow-motion disasterin Chicago00:33:14.606 --> 00:33:17.439was the direct resultof public policies00:33:17.439 --> 00:33:21.274that effectively dividedthe city into haves00:33:21.274 --> 00:33:22.439and have-nots.00:33:22.439 --> 00:33:26.439And it was precisely theselife-and-death inequalities00:33:26.439 --> 00:33:30.399that motivated Dr. Whitmanto step down from his post00:33:30.399 --> 00:33:33.190as the city'schief epidemiologist00:33:33.190 --> 00:33:36.982to lead the SinaiUrban Health Institute.00:33:39.648 --> 00:33:41.857- We've done study after studyand published it00:33:41.857 --> 00:33:43.857in all of our mostprestigious journals00:33:43.857 --> 00:33:48.149showing not only that blackpeople and other poor people00:33:48.149 --> 00:33:50.315have much worse healthbut, in fact,00:33:50.315 --> 00:33:52.399that the differencesin measures of health00:33:52.399 --> 00:33:55.690are growing worseeverywhere we look in Chicago.00:33:55.690 --> 00:33:58.439That's happening becausethe rich are getting richer,00:33:58.439 --> 00:33:59.399the poor are getting poorer,00:33:59.399 --> 00:34:01.399and the poor are not onlygetting poorer,00:34:01.399 --> 00:34:04.190but they're getting sickeras well.00:34:04.190 --> 00:34:05.815Life expectancy in the Loop,00:34:05.815 --> 00:34:09.274where we're sitting now,is 81 years.00:34:09.274 --> 00:34:12.439And for black communitiesthroughout Chicago,00:34:12.439 --> 00:34:13.523it was 65 years.00:34:13.523 --> 00:34:17.39916 years' differencein life expectancy,00:34:17.399 --> 00:34:20.274and you could walk fromone community to the other.00:34:20.274 --> 00:34:22.857One of the strongest correlatesof bad health00:34:22.857 --> 00:34:23.898for black peoplethat's been shown00:34:23.898 --> 00:34:27.777over and over in the literatureis segregation.00:34:27.790 --> 00:34:30.582We are one of the mostsegregated cities00:34:30.582 --> 00:34:32.039in the United States.00:34:32.039 --> 00:34:36.081If black people in Chicagohad the same death rates00:34:36.081 --> 00:34:40.457as white people,3,200 fewer black people,00:34:40.457 --> 00:34:43.039in just one year,would have died.00:34:43.039 --> 00:34:47.832Now, just think aboutour response to 9/11.00:34:47.832 --> 00:34:48.540Literally billions,00:34:48.540 --> 00:34:51.081even trillionsof dollars spent,00:34:51.081 --> 00:34:55.498and yet here's 3,000 deathsin just one year.00:34:55.498 --> 00:34:58.457Ten years,that's 32,000 deaths,00:34:58.457 --> 00:35:01.290just from racism,in the city of Chicago.00:35:01.290 --> 00:35:04.999[jet engines

limited public screening of the documentary, COOKED: Survival By Zip Code, with a panel discussion and live Q&A on Thursday, Whitman had outlined.00:35:28.331 --> 00:35:30.7903,200 deaths from terrorism00:35:30.790 --> 00:35:34.498are considereda national disaster,00:35:34.498 --> 00:35:38.623but 3,200 deathsfrom treatable diseases00:35:38.623 --> 00:35:40.040taking place in

offits latest innovations00:36:23.039 --> 00:36:26.039in government-fundeddisaster preparedness.00:36:26.039 --> 00:36:30.540- This year, Cook Countywill share $47.7 million00:36:30.540 --> 00:36:34.665in urban area securityinitiative grant funds.00:36:34.665 --> 00:36:37.415- What you're gonna seeis just a handful of resources00:36:37.415 --> 00:36:40.039that are mainly paid forthrough federal grants.00:36:40.039 --> 00:36:42.290- Over here is a mobileventilation unit.00:36:42.290 --> 00:36:45.165We can clear an areaunbelievably efficiently00:36:45.165 --> 00:36:46.623using these

hours.00:36:53.081 --> 00:36:55.665Unified command vehicle.00:36:55.874 --> 00:37:00.039- I started getting into thiswhole question about disaster00:37:00.039 --> 00:37:02.123because of the 1995 heat wave.00:37:02.123 --> 00:37:05.165- A lot of thingsthat are in place today00:37:05.165 --> 00:37:06.373were a result of lessons00:37:06.373 --> 00:37:08.039learned from the 1995heat wave.00:37:08.039 --> 00:37:10.957If you remember 1995,we were keeping bodies00:37:10.957 --> 00:37:14.540in refrigerated food trucks.00:37:14.540 --> 00:37:17.665We now have a vehiclethat's specifically made00:37:17.665 --> 00:37:18.498for this task.00:37:18.498 --> 00:37:20.957The victim would be putinto this vehicle.00:37:20.957 --> 00:37:23.206We can hold 27 victims.00:37:23.206 --> 00:37:28.248We can chill this unitdown to 32 degrees.00:37:28.248 --> 00:37:30.039- Which is basicallya refrigerated00:37:30.039 --> 00:37:31.749morgue on wheels?00:37:31.749 --> 00:37:33.498- Yeah, I wouldn't put thatin the press.00:37:33.498 --> 00:37:35.999I-I'd flower it upa little better, but yes.00:37:35.999 --> 00:37:37.640- What would you say?00:37:37.640 --> 00:37:41.639- That's a victimcontainment system.00:37:42.015 --> 00:37:43.639- That victimcontainment system00:37:43.639 --> 00:37:46.639was just one of many big,shiny new trucks00:37:46.639 --> 00:37:48.557at this county event.00:37:48.557

--> 00:37:59.390and you startto get the picture.00:37:59.390 --> 00:38:00.639Disaster preparedness00:38:00.639 --> 00:38:04.223is a very well-resourcedendeavor.00:38:05.057 --> 00:38:06.806But what if it was possibleto repurpose00:38:06.806 --> 00:38:10.681this massive infrastructure,which already operates00:38:10.681 --> 00:38:13.890on local, regional,and national levels,00:38:13.890 --> 00:38:15.848and put it in serviceof communities00:38:15.848 --> 00:38:18.639struck by unnatural disasters?00:38:18.639 --> 00:38:21.973That was the questionon my mind when I found out00:38:21.973 -->

00:32:54.399- Let me be really clear.Racism is not a disaster.00:32:54.399 --> 00:32:56.898It's somethingthat human beings invented00:32:56.898 --> 00:32:59.023and created and keep healthy.00:32:59.023 --> 00:33:01.857Segregation is somethinghuman beings invented,00:33:01.857 --> 00:33:05.274specific human beings,for specific purposes.00:33:05.274 --> 00:33:08.399The health inequitiesthat exist are not accidents.00:33:08.399 --> 00:33:10.648They're created by people.00:33:11.773 --> 00:33:14.606- So the slow-motion disasterin Chicago00:33:14.606 --> 00:33:17.439was the direct resultof public policies00:33:17.439 --> 00:33:21.274that effectively dividedthe city into haves00:33:21.274 --> 00:33:22.439and have-nots.00:33:22.439 --> 00:33:26.439And it was precisely theselife-and-death inequalities00:33:26.439 --> 00:33:30.399that motivated Dr. Whitmanto step down from his post00:33:30.399 --> 00:33:33.190as the city'schief epidemiologist00:33:33.190 --> 00:33:36.982to lead the SinaiUrban Health Institute.00:33:39.648 --> 00:33:41.857- We've done study after studyand published it00:33:41.857 --> 00:33:43.857in all of our mostprestigious journals00:33:43.857 --> 00:33:48.149showing not only that blackpeople and other poor people00:33:48.149 --> 00:33:50.315have much worse healthbut, in fact,00:33:50.315 --> 00:33:52.399that the differencesin measures of health00:33:52.399 --> 00:33:55.690are growing worseeverywhere we look in Chicago.00:33:55.690 --> 00:33:58.439That's happening becausethe rich are getting richer,00:33:58.439 --> 00:33:59.399the poor are getting poorer,00:33:59.399 --> 00:34:01.399and the poor are not onlygetting poorer,00:34:01.399 --> 00:34:04.190but they're getting sickeras well.00:34:04.190 --> 00:34:05.815Life expectancy in the Loop,00:34:05.815 --> 00:34:09.274where we're sitting now,is 81 years.00:34:09.274 --> 00:34:12.439And for black communitiesthroughout Chicago,00:34:12.439 --> 00:34:13.523it was 65 years.00:34:13.523 --> 00:34:17.39916 years' differencein life expectancy,00:34:17.399 --> 00:34:20.274and you could walk fromone community to the other.00:34:20.274 --> 00:34:22.857One of the strongest correlatesof bad health00:34:22.857 --> 00:34:23.898for black peoplethat's been shown00:34:23.898 --> 00:34:27.777over and over in the literatureis segregation.00:34:27.790 --> 00:34:30.582We are one of the mostsegregated cities00:34:30.582 --> 00:34:32.039in the United States.00:34:32.039 --> 00:34:36.081If black people in Chicagohad the same death rates00:34:36.081 --> 00:34:40.457as white people,3,200 fewer black people,00:34:40.457 --> 00:34:43.039in just one year,would have died.00:34:43.039 --> 00:34:47.832Now, just think aboutour response to 9/11.00:34:47.832 --> 00:34:48.540Literally billions,00:34:48.540 --> 00:34:51.081even trillionsof dollars spent,00:34:51.081 --> 00:34:55.498and yet here's 3,000 deathsin just one year.00:34:55.498 --> 00:34:58.457Ten years,that's 32,000 deaths,00:34:58.457 --> 00:35:01.290just from racism,in the city of Chicago.00:35:01.290 --> 00:35:04.999[jet engines roaring]00:35:14.123 --> 00:35:15.457- Watching the annual air show00:35:15.457 --> 00:35:18.039along Chicago'smajestic skyline00:35:18.039 --> 00:35:20.206celebratingthe military daredevils00:35:20.206 --> 00:35:22.457who are poised to protect us,00:35:22.457 --> 00:35:25.749I couldn't help but thinkabout the disparity00:35:25.749 --> 00:35:28.331Dr. Cook County hosted a limited public screening of the documentary, COOKED: Survival By Zip Code, with a panel discussion and live Q&A on Thursday, Whitman had outlined.00:35:28.331 --> 00:35:30.7903,200 deaths from terrorism00:35:30.790 --> 00:35:34.498are considereda national disaster,00:35:34.498 --> 00:35:38.623but 3,200 deathsfrom treatable diseases00:35:38.623 --> 00:35:40.040taking place in neighborhoods00:35:40.040 --> 00:35:42.749just due south and westfrom here00:35:42.749 --> 00:35:45.039are barely considered.00:35:45.707 --> 00:35:49.498And that's when I startedGoogling "disaster"00:35:50.039 --> 00:35:52.874Which led meto disaster prevention00:35:52.874 --> 00:35:55.957- To guarantee good health,you need clean water.00:35:55.957 --> 00:35:59.707- It filters about a gallonevery five minutes.00:35:59.707 --> 00:36:01.749- To "disaster preparedness,"00:36:01.749 --> 00:36:04.123which I soon learnedis one of our nation's00:36:04.123 --> 00:36:05.457most dynamicgrowth industries.00:36:05.457 --> 00:36:08.665- Let's start off by talkingabout emergency food,00:36:08.665 --> 00:36:11.915packaged to last 25 years.00:36:11.915 --> 00:36:16.039- And finally "disasterpreparedness Chicago"00:36:16.039 --> 00:36:18.832[helicopter rotors whirring]00:36:18.832 --> 00:36:20.415Which is how I learnedthat Cook County00:36:20.415 --> 00:36:23.039was about to show offits latest innovations00:36:23.039 --> 00:36:26.039in government-fundeddisaster preparedness.00:36:26.039 --> 00:36:30.540- This year, Cook Countywill share $47.7 million00:36:30.540 --> 00:36:34.665in urban area securityinitiative grant funds.00:36:34.665 --> 00:36:37.415- What you're gonna seeis just a handful of resources00:36:37.415 --> 00:36:40.039that are mainly paid forthrough federal grants.00:36:40.039 --> 00:36:42.290- Over here is a mobileventilation unit.00:36:42.290 --> 00:36:45.165We can clear an areaunbelievably efficiently00:36:45.165 --> 00:36:46.623using these machines.00:36:46.623 --> 00:36:47.540Mobile warehouse.00:36:47.540 --> 00:36:50.331Seven semitrailerseach with 18,000 items00:36:50.331 --> 00:36:53.081of things we neededfor the first 72 hours.00:36:53.081 --> 00:36:55.665Unified command vehicle.00:36:55.874 --> 00:37:00.039- I started getting into thiswhole question about disaster00:37:00.039 --> 00:37:02.123because of the 1995 heat wave.00:37:02.123 --> 00:37:05.165- A lot of thingsthat are in place today00:37:05.165 --> 00:37:06.373were a result of lessons00:37:06.373 --> 00:37:08.039learned from the 1995heat wave.00:37:08.039 --> 00:37:10.957If you remember 1995,we were keeping bodies00:37:10.957 --> 00:37:14.540in refrigerated food trucks.00:37:14.540 --> 00:37:17.665We now have a vehiclethat's specifically made00:37:17.665 --> 00:37:18.498for this task.00:37:18.498 --> 00:37:20.957The victim would be putinto this vehicle.00:37:20.957 --> 00:37:23.206We can hold 27 victims.00:37:23.206 --> 00:37:28.248We can chill this unitdown to 32 degrees.00:37:28.248 --> 00:37:30.039- Which is basicallya refrigerated00:37:30.039 --> 00:37:31.749morgue on wheels?00:37:31.749 --> 00:37:33.498- Yeah, I wouldn't put thatin the press.00:37:33.498 --> 00:37:35.999I-I'd flower it upa little better, but yes.00:37:35.999 --> 00:37:37.640- What would you say?00:37:37.640 --> 00:37:41.639- That's a victimcontainment system.00:37:42.015 --> 00:37:43.639- That victimcontainment system00:37:43.639 --> 00:37:46.639was just one of many big,shiny new trucks00:37:46.639 --> 00:37:48.557at this county event.00:37:48.557 --> 00:37:51.557Multiply thatby 3,142 counties00:37:51.557 --> 00:37:54.098or county equivalentsin the United States00:37:54.098 --> 00:37:56.973currently gearing upfor future disasters,00:37:56.973 --> 00:37:59.390and you startto get the picture.00:37:59.390 --> 00:38:00.639Disaster preparedness00:38:00.639 --> 00:38:04.223is a very well-resourcedendeavor.00:38:05.057 --> 00:38:06.806But what if it was possibleto repurpose00:38:06.806 --> 00:38:10.681this massive infrastructure,which already operates00:38:10.681 --> 00:38:13.890on local, regional,and national levels,00:38:13.890 --> 00:38:15.848and put it in serviceof communities00:38:15.848 --> 00:38:18.639struck by unnatural disasters?00:38:18.639 --> 00:38:21.973That was the questionon my mind when I found out00:38:21.973 --> 00:38:24.474about a disasterpreparedness conference00:38:24.474 --> 00:38:28.349taking place just two states,one floodplain,00:38:28.349 --> 00:38:31.639and one seismic fault lineaway from Chicago,00:38:31.639 --> 00:38:33.098in Paducah, Kentucky.00:38:33.098 --> 00:38:35.26500:38:35.265 --> 00:38:36.639- It's all aboutdisaster preparedness.00:38:36.639 --> 00:38:38.140We're talkingabout ice storms,00:38:38.140 --> 00:38:39.765a big earthquakethat could happen here00:38:39.765 --> 00:38:40.639on the New Madrid Fault.00:38:40.639 --> 00:38:42.057We've got peoplefrom FEMA here,00:38:42.057 --> 00:38:45.432from the Red Cross,from the USGS.00:38:45.432 --> 00:38:47.89000:38:47.890 --> 00:38:50.057- Judith Helfand.00:38:50.973 --> 00:38:52.223- Yes.- All right.00:38:52.223 --> 00:38:52.806- [laughs]00:38:52.806 --> 00:38:56.515- This is the map of the areathat we were covering.00:38:56.515 --> 00:38:58.557It's--- Six Midwest states,00:38:58.557 --> 00:39:01.015where the New Madridearthquake zone is.00:39:01.015 --> 00:39:01.848- If it was really bad,00:39:01.848 --> 00:39:03.639where would they get hiton your shirt?00:39:03.639 --> 00:39:05.639- Oh, it'd be, like,the whole Midwest.00:39:05.639 --> 00:39:09.681All the bridges you crossedgetting here will all be gone.00:39:09.681 --> 00:39:11.474- If you don't knowwhat the plan is,00:39:11.474 --> 00:39:12.723you may not have a plan.00:39:12.723 --> 00:39:15.806I'm not hereto scare you to death.00:39:15.806 --> 00:39:18.057I can, but I won't.00:39:18.257 --> 00:39:20.757- Catastrophic iceis pretty much the worst.00:39:20.757 --> 00:39:25.715- Lightning has killed at least67 people in the United States.00:39:25.715 --> 00:39:26.839[electricity buzzing]00:39:26.839 --> 00:39:29.382- After a day and a halfof lectures,00:39:29.382 --> 00:39:33.839keynotes, and workshops,one thing was pretty clear.00:39:33.839 --> 00:39:36.298Disaster preparednessis a luxury.00:39:36.298 --> 00:39:38.340It's for communitieswho are stable enough00:39:38.340 --> 00:39:41.423in the presentto worry about the future.00:39:41.423 --> 00:39:43.549- I've got a preparedness kit.00:39:43.549 --> 00:39:47.173- But what if you can'teven conceive of a to-go kit00:39:47.173 --> 00:39:51.048because you need a "to getthrough the week" kit?00:39:51.048 --> 00:39:53.21500:39:53.215 --> 00:39:57.006This is the disasterthat I started working on.00:39:57.006 --> 00:39:59.465It's a heat death map.00:39:59.465 --> 00:40:01.382These gray areasare the poorest00:40:01.382 --> 00:40:02.965sort of neighborhoodsin the city.00:40:02.965 --> 00:40:05.131- Mm-hmm.- So here's the big question.00:40:05.131 --> 00:40:12.715What if we redefine disasteras extreme pernicious poverty?00:40:12.715 --> 00:40:13.839- Hmm.00:40:15.507 --> 00:40:18.048- I didn't want to makeanyone uncomfortable00:40:18.048 --> 00:40:19.131[both chuckle]00:40:19.131 --> 00:40:20.923But, frankly,who's comfortable00:40:20.923 --> 00:40:23.465talking about raceand class?00:40:23.465 --> 00:40:26.006And even though I knewI might be putting some people00:40:26.006 --> 00:40:30.006on the spot,I couldn't resist trying.00:40:30.006 --> 00:40:33.173Isn't there a way to just thinkabout economic development00:40:33.173 --> 00:40:34.839as disaster preparedness?00:40:34.839 --> 00:40:37.131- If you're asking me,can emergency management00:40:37.131 --> 00:40:40.839solve the poverty issues,I can tell you, no,00:40:40.839 --> 00:40:43.923'cause the systems that we havenow are all about,00:40:43.923 --> 00:40:46.507we've had a major disaster,come back in,00:40:46.507 --> 00:40:48.839and restore that communityto like it was.00:40:48.839 --> 00:40:52.423In fact, the FEMA
