纽波特海滩持续海岸洪水防护：三座码头关闭，市府三处免费发放沙袋
纽波特海滩市政府10月11日继续推进海岸洪水防护工作。受热带风暴"瑞秋"（Rachel）残余影响叠加大潮，海水持续威胁巴尔博亚半岛（Balboa Peninsula）沿岸社区，市府宣布纽波特码头（Newport Pier）、巴尔博亚码头（Balboa Pier）和楔子冲浪点（The Wedge）继续关闭，直至另行通知。
据市府官方邮件，救生员部门呼吁公众远离海水，不要攀爬防护沙堤，以免破坏沙堤结构、削弱其保护民宅和基础设施的功能。国家气象局此前已对橙县海岸发布海岸洪水预警，警告10月11日周日上午大潮期间可能出现严重洪水和海滩侵蚀，潮位预计超过7英尺。
为帮助居民防汛，市府在三处地点免费发放沙袋：市政大院（Corporation Yard，592 Superior Ave）、玛丽娜公园（Marina Park）和1号临时消防站（Temporary Fire Station No. 1）；空沙袋可在救生员总部（Lifeguard Headquarters，70 Newport Pier）领取。
回顾：纽波特海滩市经理 Seimone Jurjis 于10月9日周五宣布本地进入紧急状态，此前海水已漫过巴尔博亚半岛街道。据 MyNewsLA 等媒体报道，市府工作人员周末持续加固沙堤，市府公共信息经理 Georgia Rios 11日中午表示沙堤目前稳固。气象部门预计未来几天大潮时段仍可能出现轻度至中度海岸洪水，提醒驾车者不要驶入积水路段或绕行路障。

Newport Beach Continues Coastal Flood Protection: Three Piers Closed, Free Sandbags at Three Locations
[GSM Orange County, Oct. 11] The City of Newport Beach continued its coastal flood protection efforts on Oct. 11 as high surf combined with elevated tides from the remnants of Tropical Storm Rachel kept threatening the Balboa Peninsula. The city announced that Newport Pier, Balboa Pier and the Wedge remain closed until further notice.
According to an official city email, lifeguards urged the public to stay out of the ocean and not to climb on protective sand berms, warning that doing so can compromise the berms' structural integrity and reduce their effectiveness in protecting homes and infrastructure. The National Weather Service had issued a coastal flood warning for Orange County beaches, warning of potentially significant flooding and beach erosion, with tides expected to exceed 7 feet during Sunday morning's high tide.
To help residents prepare, the city is offering free sandbags at three locations: the Corporation Yard (592 Superior Ave), Marina Park, and Temporary Fire Station No. 1. Empty sandbags are available at Lifeguard Headquarters (70 Newport Pier).
Background: City Manager Seimone Jurjis declared a local emergency on Friday, Oct. 9, after seawater inundated streets on the Balboa Peninsula. According to media reports, city crews worked through the weekend reinforcing sand berms, and public information manager Georgia Rios said at midday Sunday that the berms were holding strong. Forecasters expect minor to moderate coastal flooding concerns to continue during high tides over the next few days, urging motorists not to drive through flooded roads or around barricades.
