旧金山市长宣布本地紧急状态 备战厄尔尼诺冬季风暴
加州旧金山市长 Daniel Lurie 10月23日宣布本地紧急状态，为今冬可能出现的厄尔尼诺强风暴、洪水与高潮位提前部署。
紧急状态将简化采购与合同授予流程，使公共工程局、公用事业委员会（SFPUC）、港务局、交通局（SFMTA）、康乐公园局、国际机场与合同管理办公室等部门可快速购置防洪屏障、水泵与发电机等物资，并储备急救与避难用品。市政府将按事故指挥系统组织运作，各部门须配合应急行动中心的要求，市长可在部门之间调配资金。
卢里在声明中表示，防灾要在风暴到来之前动手。市行政官 Carmen Chu 表示，让各部门在需要时能及时买到所需物资，是有效应对快速变化的紧急状况的关键。州长纽森已于今年9月就厄尔尼诺防备发布全州紧急公告。

San Francisco Mayor Declares Local Emergency to Prepare for El Niño Storms
San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie declared a local emergency on October 23 to speed the city's preparations for severe storms, flooding and high tides that El Niño could bring this winter.
The declaration streamlines procurement and contracting for departments including Public Works, the Public Utilities Commission (SFPUC), the Port, the Municipal Transportation Agency (SFMTA), the Recreation and Park Department, San Francisco International Airport and the Office of Contract Administration, allowing them to quickly obtain flood barriers, pumps and generators and to stock first-aid and shelter supplies. The city will operate under the Incident Command System, departments must cooperate with the Emergency Operations Center, and the mayor may reallocate funds as needed.
In a statement, Lurie said the time to prepare for a major storm is before it arrives. City Administrator Carmen Chu said being able to purchase what is needed, when it is needed, is essential to an effective response. Governor Gavin Newsom issued a statewide emergency proclamation for El Niño preparedness in September.
