Episode 4: A Rising Threat

Flooding is reshaping life in rural America. Unprecedented events are catching farmers and small towns unprepared. Communities built around the water are now losing their livelihood and history to it. This is the finale of News21’s four-part documentary series “State of Emergency.”
