Ihlobo e-Arizona Means High Fire Danger
Ngenkathi iziqu zomlilo zingenzeka noma yikuphi e-United States lapho kukhona khona amabhulashi noma izihlahla, izifunda ezihlukahlukene zinenkinga ekhethekile yokubhekana noluhlobo lwama-landscapes atholakala kule ndawo. Iningi lase-Arizona libhekwa njengendawo ephezulu yokushisa umlilo.
Eningizimu-ntshonalanga, kunezinhlobo eziyisithupha eziyisisekelo zemifino ezibangelwa ukukhathazeka ngesikhathi sonyaka womlilo: utshani nezihlahla zasogwadule, izindawo zasemaphandleni, amahlathi e-ponderosa amapine, izinkuni ze-pinyon-juniper, ama-conifers axutshwe, kanye ne-chapparal ende.
Abantu abaningi bacabanga ngehlane lapho becabanga nge-Arizona. Kodwa-ke, kungase kusimangaze ukuthi kunezinhlanzi eziyisithupha zikazwelonke e-Arizona ezizungezile ezinomlilo: Apache-Sitgreaves, Coconino, Coronado, Kaibab, Prescott, naseTonto.
Amakhamuzi Amadolobha Amakhulu Nama-Wildfires
Akungabazeki ukuthi izikhukhula ezinkulu ziyoba nomthelela oqondile ezindaweni ezinkulu ezidolobheni ezifana nePhoenix neTucson, kodwa nakanjani kukhona impembelelo engavamile yemililo emikhawulweni emikhulu yase-Arizona.
Umoya ungaba yingozi kubantu abaningi, futhi ungakhuphuka kakhulu phakathi nenkathi yomsindo wesibhakabhaka, okuholela ekunciphiseni ikhwalithi yomoya emadolobheni amakhulu ase-Arizona ngesikhathi sokuphakama kwenkathi yasendle yasendle. Uma unezinkinga zokuphefumula, qinisekisa ukuthi ugcine njengamanje kunoma yikuphi ukushisa komlilo okuvuthayo kuziphathimandla zesifunda kuzokwazisa ngokujwayelekile uma kunezincomo zomoya obhemayo.
Akukhona nje ukuthi ukulwa nemililo emlilweni kubiza izindleko, kepha iziqu zomlilo ziyathinta izinga lemishwalense kanye nokuvakasha kwe-Arizona ngesikhathi sehlobo, okwenza kube nomthelela omkhulu wezezimali emiphakathini yedolobha.
Imifino ehlukene, izindleko ezahlukene zokushisa
Ngenxa yokuhlukahluka kwezimila ngaphesheya kwe-Arizona, umbuso unamazinga amaningi ahlukene wezingozi zomlilo zasendle. Ngenkathi ama-conifers ahlanganisiwe eshisa kancane emahektha angu-10 ngehora, izihlahla ezinkulu ze-chapparal ezithinta iningi lombuso zingashisa amahektare angaba ngu-3 600 ngesikhathi esifanayo, kanti utshani nezihlahla zasogwadule ziyashisa ngokusheshisa ngamahektare angu-3 000 ngehora.
Izindawo eziphuthumayo, okwamanje, zingashisa emahektare angaba ngu-1 000 ngehora kanye nezinkuni ze-pinyon-juniper zishisa amahektare angama-500 ngehora kanye namahlathi amadala ase-ponderosa amapayini ashisa amahora angu-150 ngehora.
Kuye ngokuthi iyiphi ingxenye yombuso owuvakashelayo, uzothola ingxube yazo zonke izinhlobo eziyisithupha zalezi zitshalo, okwenza kube khona izindawo ezimbi zomlilo.

Ukuhlola Izimo Zezimlilo Ngaphambi Kokuhamba
Ukuze uqinisekise ukuphepha kwakho ohambweni olulandelayo oluya e-Arizona, ikakhulukazi ngenkathi yomsindo wesibhakabhaka, kubalulekile ukuthi uhlole izibikezelo zasendaweni kanye nezinsizakalo zamapaki for izimemezelo ezihlobene nengozi yomlilo ngaleso sikhathi.
I-Southwest Coordination Centre kanye ne-National Interagency Fire Centre bobabili ama-ejensi egijimela uhulumeni aklanyelwe ukulwa nemililo ezimweni eziphuthumayo kodwa futhi abuye azise umphakathi jikelele ngezimo ezishisayo kanye namazinga engozi.
Qinisekisa ukuthi uhlola amashayiphu aphuthumayo ku-Arizona Emergency Information Network ukuze uthole ulwazi olusesikhathini samanje emlilweni wesimo esifundazweni.
