California prepares to capitalize on big El Niño storms https://www.byteseu.com/2399839/ #acre #BigStorm #California #ElNino #environment #farmland #field #groundwater #group #JulieRentner #land #river #state #StormSeason #Water #year
Last night's City Council meeting focused on preparations for this winter's El Niño event, forecast to be the largest in decades.
The presentations covered preparedness and response handled by the county Office of Emergency Services (OES), the lead agency in response to flooding, wildfires, earthquakes, and other emergencies. OES runs the VC Alert system and vcemergency.com website that provide residents with real-time official updates; it also coordinates responses regionally among all local governments, including the City of Thousand Oaks.
Staff also spoke about city measures, especially by the Public Works Department, that occur before, during, and after any storm. Public Works also offers free pre-filled sandbags at the Municipal Service Center, 1993 Rancho Conejo Blvd.
Most important of all, Council and the public also heard about preparation measures residents can take ahead of heavy rain and other emergencies.
With this weekend's rains likely to be the start of a very wet winter season, last night's meeting was a timely reminder of what we must do so that the county, the city, and residents can be prepared and stay safe.

It’s crazy how all these real problems around the world - the heat, floods, fires, all getting worse with this huge El Niño - barely get talked about in the media, while everyone is getting wild about AI going rogue.
Sure, AI might be a big risk someday, but climate change is already happening and it is relentless.
And somehow we are not treating it as the urgent real-time crisis it is.
