The author used the census to accurately make the statistics needed to back up the main argument.

The article addresses the public health by showing that people can not afford daily necessities such as hosptial bills and things of that nature.

To control this is to create more job oppurtunities for black and low-income families. 

The main point was to show the reader that people are in the poverty zone in Newark due to the lack of jobs. It is supported through statistics. The poverty rate increases as the unemployment rate increases and jobs decrease.

Flood has been and is still a major concern in New jersey because the state is close to or on the 

caost.Whenever an heavy rain falls today , there are flood notifications on everyones phones.

These flood situations lead to traffic,lateness,rise in water levels and all others leading to 

vulnerability in our environment.

"Child poverty is becoming more concentrated."

"It is no coincidence that the County’s municipalities with the highest child poverty rates are one and the same as the County’s majority-black municipalities. Sixty-three percent of poor families in high child-poverty cities are black."

The Income Deprivation Affecting Children Index (IDACI) was referred in the article, which is a deprivation index used in the United Kingdom.

1. There is some sort of racism going on towards black people financially.

2. The amount of people in poverty are greater than expected.

3. The poverty rate is increasing faster than expected.

Q1. The report was basically about the how flood has been affecting newark over the past years and the adequate control measures/techniques (laws Movements,permits)

that have been put in place to ensure the prevention of flood in Newark.Agencies that prevent flood have also proven efective and functional over time as in indicated

in the text "Historically, New Jersey has taken a strong role in the development of a rigorous floodplain management program at the State level while supporting those

same efforts at the Federal level with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) "(Floodplain Mapping Unit paragraph 1).This report would make resident feel

at ease knowing the problem of flooding is uder control.

Reacting to this report, Although Its is very reassuring knowing all these Agencies,funding,laws, and concerns are in place, I believe extra effort should be put in not only

in Newark but also in other flood affected areas in New Jersey and The United States as a whole because water levels are rising (major concern in coastal areas)and new methods should be put in place to

avoid major casualties.
