Cooked: Survival by Zip Code - Film and Discussion with Dr. Marcos Luna

“In 1995, Chicago was hit by an extreme, record-breaking heat wave…and the lives of 739 residents were lost in a single week; mostly poor, African-American, and elderly residents. ...This offbeat doc connects the dots… and [explores] the ways in which class, race and zip code predetermine our chances of survival during environmental crises and [asks] why we don't treat that as a disaster.” Dr. Luna will facilitate a discussion, including how his team at Salem State University uses mapping tools to identify communities vulnerable to climate change ahead of time and protect them.
