Topics
我作为CNN This Morning的主播,最关心的是南加州野火依然非常危险,死亡人数不断上升。这场灾难持续数日,强风预计会再次加剧局势。至少已有24人丧生。我认为加州政府治理不力是野火如此严重的部分原因。即将上任的特朗普政府将野火灾害归咎于加州民主党人。本周将举行内阁成员的听证会。 作为一名受灾居民,我亲眼目睹了野火带来的巨大破坏。我的女儿的骨灰在火灾中被烧毁了,我失去了所有关于她的记忆和物品。这让我感到非常痛苦和悲伤。 作为加州州长,我正在努力应对这场灾难。消防员正在提前进入热点地区,并预先部署资源,以应对预计在本周出现的强风。我们正在尽一切努力来控制火势,并帮助受灾居民。 作为加州职业消防员协会主席,我认为未来几天加州面临着很大的野火风险,政府正在调动资源应对。布伦特伍德、圣莫尼卡和曼德维尔峡谷等地区面临着较高的野火风险。一些地区由于长期没有发生火灾,燃料负荷很高,增加了风险。天气状况对野火风险至关重要,目前湿度水平有所上升,但仍处于危险水平。未燃烧区域也构成潜在的火灾风险。消防员士气高昂,并与社区保持着良好的互动。消防员与社区的互动对他们的士气至关重要。 作为气象学家,我预测未来几天南加州的风速将再次增强,这将使野火控制更加困难。尽管风速将再次增强,但周末期间消防员在控制野火方面取得了一些进展。南加州持续的干旱加剧了野火风险。 作为CNN记者,我亲眼目睹了太平洋帕利塞兹的许多街区都被野火摧毁了。埃登和帕利塞兹两场大火仍在燃烧,尚未得到控制。这场灾难给当地居民带来了巨大的痛苦和悲伤。
