内布拉斯加州东南部遭破纪录暴雨 州长宣布紧急状态并启动灾损评估
内布拉斯加州州长皮伦（Jim Pillen）10月2日宣布，该州东南部因破纪录的强降雨与洪水进入紧急状态。此轮暴雨导致多处道路被淹，有驾车者被困水中后获救。皮伦前往兰开斯特县北部灾区视察，并签署紧急状态公告，动用州级资源投入抢险与灾后恢复。州紧急事务管理局（NEMA）正与联邦紧急事务管理局（FEMA）、小企业管理局（SBA）以及农业部自然资源保护局（NRCS）协调，开展灾损评估，以确定受灾个人与企业能够获得的援助项目与额度。州长提醒居民不要驶入积水路段，并密切留意官方发布的道路封闭与安全信息。兰开斯特县是州府林肯市所在地，此次降雨强度创下当地纪录，农田与低洼社区的受灾情况仍在统计之中，评估结果将直接决定联邦援助的发放范围与额度。对居住在该州东南部的华人居民来说，如住房或生意在此次洪灾中受损，可留意州政府与FEMA后续公布的援助申请渠道，并提前保存好损失照片、维修票据等材料以备申报。（来源：内布拉斯加州州长办公室）
Nebraska Governor Declares Emergency After Record Rainfall and Flooding in the Southeast
Nebraska Governor Jim Pillen declared a state of emergency on October 2 after record-breaking rainfall and flooding struck the southeastern part of the state. The deluge inundated roads across the region, and stranded motorists had to be rescued from floodwaters. Pillen toured damage in northern Lancaster County and signed the emergency proclamation, activating state resources for response and recovery. The Nebraska Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) is coordinating damage assessments with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), the Small Business Administration (SBA) and the USDA's Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) to determine what assistance may be available to affected individuals and businesses. The governor urged residents not to drive through flooded roads and to follow official road-closure and safety updates. Lancaster County, home to the capital city of Lincoln, saw record rainfall, and damage to farmland and low-lying communities is still being tallied. Chinese-American residents in southeastern Nebraska whose homes or businesses were damaged should watch for aid application announcements from the state and FEMA, and keep photos and receipts documenting their losses.
