D.C. has had intense floods this year, and with climate change, it’s only poised to get worse. Marcelo Jauregui-Volpe, a journalist at Hola Cultura, is here to explain why the old way of mapping flood risk in D.C. is out of date and what we need to know to be more prepared.

Check out our episode about D.C.’s troubled 911 call center, and some of the fatal mistakes it’s made.

And if you need a refresher of what happened at the District Dogs flooding, we went through it minute-by-minute and also covered the city’s response.
