加州配发新型激流救援车队:13 支一线队伍换装迎风暴季

州长纽森周四宣布,加州为全州 13 支"一级激流救援队"配发全新装备——重型四驱拖车、救援拖挂车、每队两艘动力充气救援艇,以及防护装备与专业工具,为预计受厄尔尼诺影响的风暴季做准备。 这批换装属于州应急服务厅(Cal OES)的现代化计划:13 支队伍的装备全面更新,州应急指挥中心同步升级,并引入卫星影像合作——可近乎实时地透过云层、烟雾与黑暗,监测洪水与野火。 州府同时提醒居民:洪水天气切勿驾车涉水——约 15 厘米深的水就能让小车熄火,30 厘米足以让车漂走;请提前备好应急包并订阅本地警报。(据加州州长办公室公告)
California Fields New Swiftwater Rescue Fleet Ahead of Storm Season
Governor Gavin Newsom announced Thursday that California is deploying a new swiftwater rescue fleet statewide: heavy-duty 4WD tow vehicles, rescue trailers, two motorized inflatable rescue boats per team, plus protective gear and specialized tools for all 13 Type 1 Swiftwater Rescue Teams, ahead of an El Niño-driven storm season. The rollout is part of a Cal OES modernization that replaces equipment across all 13 teams, upgrades the State Operations Center, and adds a satellite-imagery partnership that can monitor floods and wildfires in near real time — through clouds, smoke and darkness. The state also reminded residents: never drive through flooded roads. About six inches of water can stall a car, and a foot can float it. Keep emergency supplies ready and sign up for local alerts.
