Listen "Pt. 2: ‘Disasters that define us’: Examining Northeast Oklahoma’s patchwork of flood protections"

Episode Synopsis

Heavy rains in May 2019 revealed major disparities in flood protections across Oklahoma. While residents in Tulsa benefitted from decades of flood preparations, smaller communities lack the infrastructure and resources to keep the waters at bay.
