秘鲁 Piura 暴雨成灾：街道市场与民宅被淹，厄尔尼诺11月起料加剧、约120万人面临风险
秘鲁北部 Piura 大区10月20日遭遇暴雨，洪水涌入当地街道、市场与民宅。The Weather Channel 10月21日报道，气象人员预计厄尔尼诺现象将从11月起加剧，带来山洪与泥石流，并可能损害秘鲁的农业产业。
秘鲁国家民防局（INDECI）局长 Luis Vazquez 此前在记者会上表示，根据历史上受厄尔尼诺影响各大区的数据，约120万人可能受影响，至少10个大区被列为最可能受重创的地区；当局已识别出536个最脆弱的「关键点」并推进预防措施。秘鲁政府已就降雨与洪水风险宣布796个区进入紧急状态，另就缺水风险宣布607个区进入紧急状态。
厄尔尼诺是太平洋表层海水变暖的现象，会在拉丁美洲引发强降雨与干旱，目前已对秘鲁的渔业与农业产生影响。Vazquez 表示，当局的工作重点是降低脆弱性、减轻可能造成的损害。（据 The Weather Channel 10月21日报道与路透社报道整理）
Torrential Rain Floods Piura in Peru: Streets, Markets and Homes Inundated as El Niño Is Expected to Intensify From November, Putting Some 1.2 Million People at Risk
Torrential rainfall on October 20 flooded streets, markets and homes in Peru's northern Piura region. The Weather Channel reported on October 21 that meteorologists expect El Niño conditions to worsen beginning in November, bringing flash flooding and mudslides that could damage Peru's agriculture industry.
Luis Vazquez, head of Peru's Civil Defense Institute (INDECI), told a press conference earlier that, based on historical data from regions impacted by El Niño, approximately 1.2 million people could be affected, with at least 10 regions identified as likely to be hardest hit. Authorities have identified 536 critical points most vulnerable to the storms and are implementing preventive measures. The government has declared a state of emergency in 796 districts due to the risk of rain and flooding, and in 607 districts due to water shortages.
El Niño, which warms the surface of the Pacific Ocean and causes intense rains and droughts across Latin America, is already impacting Peru's fishing and agriculture sectors. Vazquez said the aim now is to reduce vulnerabilities and mitigate any potential damage. (Compiled from The Weather Channel, October 21, and Reuters reporting)
