REFLECTION 1
For right now I plan on reviewing more news articles and websites like floodandforgotten.com so I can prepare a timeline for when the flooding first started in Cahokia Heights. I want to show the story of the flooding problem in the city from the start to now. I want it to include the cause of the problem when it started what the government do or tried to do and how is the residents affected. I have already learned that the water system in Cahokia Heights has been bad since the 1800s from the floodandforgotten webisite. That was over 100 years ago and the problem is still not fixed.
This really surprised me because I thought problems like this would get fixed faster because it has people who lives there but it has been going on for a long time. People who live there now are still dealing with it also I found out the government has spent millions of dollars trying to fix the flooding but it is still not working right. According to one news paper article published in 2021 say it could take many more years and even more money before things get fixed.
I want my timeline to show when the flooding first started, when the government actions to fix the problem when money and what they said about fixing it. I also want to show how the residents complained asked for help and tried to get attention for their problems. My timeline will tell the history and the story of the people who are still living with the disaster.
