Malibu Urges El Niño Preparations Amid Local Emergency
- On Tuesday, the Sonoma County Board of Supervisors declared a local emergency to expedite preparations for potential flooding, mudslides, and storm-related problems expected during the El Niño season.
- Governor Gavin Newsom proclaimed a statewide emergency two weeks ago to mobilize resources, with forecasters predicting a 75% chance this El Niño could reach historic levels this winter.
- County crews are actively clearing culverts and flood-control channels, staging sandbags, and readying monitoring systems, while the proclamation directs Sonoma Water and sanitation districts to coordinate response efforts.
- Similar emergency declarations are underway in Malibu and San Diego, providing cities flexibility to seek state and federal assistance. "The best time to prepare for a flood is before a storm," Supervisor Rebecca Hermosillo said.
- The National Weather Service predicts a 70% chance of the strongest El Niño in over 70 years, prompting Sonoma County leaders to intensify operations for heavy rainfall expected from December through March.
