California Governor declares state of emergency for El Niño season
California Governor Gavin Newsom declared a state of emergency on September 21 to bolster preparedness for an upcoming El Niño storm season. The climate pattern, characterized by a warm patch of surface water in the Eastern Pacific Ocean near the Equator, is predicted to be stronger than many recent historical events.
In the Midpeninsula region, residents are being advised to prepare for potential flooding, power outages, and significant wind and rain. Local guidance suggests inspecting roofs for leaks, clearing gutters and downspouts, and ensuring water drains away from home foundations to mitigate damage from inclement weather.
