迎战今冬厄尔尼诺 加州提前布防：沙袋、水泵与堤防巡查全面铺开
加州州长纽森10月9日表示，面对可能创纪录的厄尔尼诺冬季风暴季，加州正提前行动：把数百万个沙袋等防洪物资预先部署到全州各地，巡查堤防和水利基础设施，并协助沿海社区防范洪水与侵蚀。
这项工作源于州长9月21日发布的紧急状态公告。州府提醒，今年海平面已受开尔文波抬升，太平洋暖水助长的风暴已给加州海岸带来强浪和沿海淹水；居民应提前清理排水、准备应急用品，并留意当地政府与国家气象局的最新警报。（资料来源：加州州长办公室）
Ahead of El Niño, California Pre-Positions Sandbags and Inspects Levees for Winter Storms
Governor Gavin Newsom said on October 9 that California is moving early ahead of a potentially historic El Niño winter storm season, pre-positioning millions of sandbags and other flood-fighting supplies statewide, inspecting levees and water infrastructure, and helping coastal communities prepare for flooding and erosion.
The work follows the Governor's September 21 emergency proclamation. Officials note Kelvin waves have already raised sea levels this year and Pacific storms fueled by warm ocean water have sent strong waves into the California coast. Residents in low-lying and coastal areas should clear drains, prepare emergency supplies and follow local and National Weather Service alerts. (Source: California Governor's Office)
