About this episode
While federal agencies track flood risk across the country, FEMA maps may paint an incomplete picture of the risk in Cook County . Heat risks are also rising for Chicagoans, and community groups are trying to fill a gap in resources . Block Club Chicago’s Mina Bloom and WBEZ’s Patrick Smith are with lead producer Simone Alicea to break down those stories, plus catching up on a fatal shooting of a 9-year-old in Portage Park, Simone Biles’ return to competitive gymnastics, and a Humboldt Park roller skating club .
