大雨造成山崩,使新西兰一条主要高速公路关闭了一个多星期,使农民和企业承受了压力。 Heavy rain caused landslides that closed a major New Zealand highway for over a week, straining farmers and businesses.

1月16日大雨引发山崩, 关闭新西兰东海岸60公里的2号国家公路, 扰乱行程超过一周。 Heavy rain on January 16 triggered landslides that closed 60 kilometers of State Highway 2 in New Zealand’s East Coast, disrupting travel for over a week. 新西兰运输局估计数周后才能清路,迫使农民和企业绕行200公里以上,增加成本,引起动物福利方面的关切。 The New Zealand Transport Agency estimates several weeks to clear the road, forcing farmers and businesses to take a 200+ kilometer detour, increasing costs and raising animal welfare concerns. 农民和工业领导人敦促官员制定一项后备计划,警告说,每18至36个月就一再进行与暴风雨有关的封锁是不可持续的。 Farmers and industry leaders are urging officials to develop a backup plan, warning that repeated storm-related closures every 18 to 36 months are unsustainable. 虽然一些出口商设法维持了供应链,但这一事件突出表明,需要提高易受风暴袭击地区基础设施的复原力。 While some exporters managed to maintain supply chains, the incident highlights the need for improved infrastructure resilience in storm-prone areas.
