00:05:10,959that took place inChicago in July, 1995.11000:05:10,960 --> 00:05:14,293One of the deadliest heatwavesin U.S. history, so far.11100:05:17,020 --> 00:05:19,239I can't say whatshocked me more,11200:05:19,240 --> 00:05:21,909the fact that hundreds ofpeople died from the heat11300:05:21,910 --> 00:05:26,910in a major U.S. city,or that I had no memory of it.11400:05:29,760 -->

00:09:20,933{\an8}she didn't answer the phone.17800:09:23,400 --> 00:09:26,453{\an8}I thought that was strangebecause she was always there.17900:09:27,336 --> 00:09:29,645{\an8}So I rushed right over here.18000:09:29,670 --> 00:09:31,809{\an8}The door was openbecause the paramedics18100:09:31,810 --> 00:09:32,899{\an8}had already been in there.18200:09:32,900 --> 00:09:35,493{\an8}And I walked

00:09:48,929When they wereexamining her body18600:09:48,930 --> 00:09:51,459I looked over at the windowand it was nailed shut,18700:09:51,460 --> 00:09:54,976and I thought, "What wouldmake her think that by18800:09:54,977 --> 00:09:57,516putting a nail in a windowwould make her feel safe?18900:09:57,517 --> 00:09:59,407Why wasn't this window open?

00:26:21,749One of the thingsthat was so devastating50300:26:21,750 --> 00:26:23,459about the heat waveis, not just simply50400:26:23,460 --> 00:26:26,519that so many people died,it's the way that they died,50500:26:26,520 --> 00:26:28,183alone and isolated.50600:26:32,290 --> 00:26:36,063There's a small desk,and a chair, a little rug,50700:26:37,080 --> 00:26:40,793a very small bed,I don't see any windows.50800:26:41,660 --> 00:26:43,423You can tell it'sa very tiny room.50900:26:46,960 --> 00:26:51,960I remember this file, EmilioAguirre, awarded a Bronze Star.51000:26:52,800 --> 00:26:54,719He served for almost twoyears in World War II51100:26:54,720 --> 00:26:55,620and was a private.51200:26:56,600 --> 00:27:01,600And look at this contrastof the decorated war veteran51300:27:02,240 --> 00:27:05,163and the 85-year-oldsenior citizen.51400:27:06,810 --> 00:27:09,749It reminds us howeasy it is in some way51500:27:09,750 --> 00:27:13,357to fall through thecracks and go from being51600:27:13,358 --> 00:27:17,419an honored soldier,or a close relative,51700:27:17,420 --> 00:27:20,959to being someone whois discovered alone51800:27:20,960 --> 00:27:22,233on a hot summer day.51900:27:24,330 --> 00:27:27,623But this box and these filesare full of stories like this.52000:27:33,720 --> 00:27:35,909[Judith] When it came timefor Mayor Daley and his team52100:27:35,910 --> 00:27:39,763to take the life and deathlessons from the 1995 heat wave,52200:27:39,788 --> 00:27:42,499they didn't concernthemselves with human stories52300:27:42,510 --> 00:27:44,389or data-driven maps.52400:27:44,390 --> 00:27:48,149Instead,they created a task force.52500:27:48,150 --> 00:27:49,699No one everappoints a task force52600:27:49,700 --> 00:27:51,399to find out what's going on.52700:27:51,400 --> 00:27:53,339They always appointthe task force52800:27:53,340 --> 00:27:55,519to make the problem go away.52900:27:55,520 --> 00:27:59,029And the problem in this casemight be seen as the heat,53000:27:59,030 --> 00:28:00,636but you didn't haveto make that go53100:28:00,660 --> 00:28:02,149away 'cause thatwas already gone.53200:28:02,150 --> 00:28:03,339So what would the problem be?53300:28:03,340 --> 00:28:05,023Well, it would be allthe people who were53400:28:05,047 --> 00:28:06,607asking all thesetroublesome questions.53500:28:07,480 --> 00:28:09,829[Judith] Along withmeteorologist Paul Dailey,53600:28:09,830 --> 00:28:13,029no relation to the mayor,the extreme weather task force53700:28:13,030 --> 00:28:16,199included a detective,a gerontologist,53800:28:16,200 --> 00:28:18,469and the Deputy Commissionerof Public Health53900:28:18,470 --> 00:28:19,923for the city of Chicago.54000:28:22,410 --> 00:28:24,766{\an8}The commission was setup to try to figure out54100:28:24,791 --> 00:28:28,336{\an8}what went wrong,why so many people were killed54200:28:28,350 --> 00:28:31,683{\an8}in the 1995 heatwave, and whatcan they do to correct it.54300:28:32,500 --> 00:28:34,959And they're still using thenumbers that I put together54400:28:34,960 --> 00:28:36,245for the warnings.54500:28:37,060 --> 00:28:39,639So the warning goes out,the city jumps into their54600:28:39,640 --> 00:28:42,109they do their thing,which is contacting people,54700:28:42,110 --> 00:28:43,577making sure everybody's set up,54800:28:43,602 --> 00:28:46,475the cooling centers are setup, everything like that.54900:28:48,110 --> 00:28:50,913There was a final bookletput out from the commission.55000:28:52,319 --> 00:28:53,732[Judith] Let's see the cover.55100:28:55,390 --> 00:28:59,749Now, my only question is,the snowflake and the sun,55200:28:59,750 --> 00:29:05,495doesn't seem as scaryas 739 people dying.55300:29:05,790 --> 00:29:09,127What he wanted to do was tryto cover everything in this.55400:29:09,140 --> 00:29:12,772Whether it's hot in the summeror heavy snow in the winter.55500:29:12,797 --> 00:29:15,047[Judith] What if youput a picture of all those55600:29:15,050 --> 00:29:16,85918-wheel refrigerated trucks?55700:29:16,860 --> 00:29:17,903Oh yeah, (laughing)55800:29:17,927 --> 00:29:19,637- they don't- Now, that's pretty extreme.55900:29:19,679 --> 00:29:21,752Yeah, they don't wannado that though, you know.56000:29:22,987 --> 00:29:24,642They don't wannaremind people of it.56100:29:24,650 --> 00:29:26,119They want people to remember,56200:29:26,120 --> 00:29:29,083but they don't wanna remind'em of it, in so many words.56300:29:30,170 --> 00:29:33,789So, remember,but let's not keep throwing it56400:29:33,790 --> 00:29:35,604in front of their faces.56500:29:35,605 --> 00:29:39,059(slow, somber music)56600:29:39,060 --> 00:29:41,468[Judith] I could seehow a refrigerated truck56700:29:41,493 --> 00:29:44,746filled with poor,deceased city residents56800:29:44,750 --> 00:29:46,519was not exactly an image Chicago56900:29:46,520 --> 00:29:49,663would want to be remindedof, or remembered for.57000:29:51,170 --> 00:29:54,519But the sunbeams andsnowflakes effectively reduced57100:29:54,520 --> 00:29:59,083the tragic loss of life in 1995to an extreme weather event.57200:30:00,710 --> 00:30:02,421When the mayororganized a commission to57300:30:02,445 --> 00:30:04,859study the heatwaveand release a report,57400:30:04,860 --> 00:30:07,829it said things like,"every neighbourhood in Chicago57500:30:07,830 --> 00:30:09,809was affected by the heatwave.
