逃跑还是呆在家里?一些南湾居民对野火疏散令感到困惑
From Oakland to Point Reyes, smoke enveloped the Bay Area Thursday as fires scorched Northern California.
从奥克兰到雷耶斯角，星期四浓烟笼罩着海湾地区，大火炙烤着加州北部。
SAN JOSE, Calif. (KGO) -- These five counties, Contra Costa, Alameda, Stanislaus, San Joaquin and Santa Clara make up what's called the SCU Lightning Complex fire.
加利福尼亚州圣何塞(KGO)——康特拉科斯塔(Contra Costa)、阿拉米达(Alameda)、斯坦尼斯劳斯(Stanislaus)、圣华金(SAN Joaquin)和圣克拉拉(Santa Clara)这五个县组成了所谓的SCU闪电复合火灾。
About 20 separate fires, across the five different counties have torched more than 100,000-acres.
大约20场大火，横跨5个不同的县，烧毁了超过10万英亩的土地。
The massive SCU Lightning Complex fire put parts of Santa Clara County under evacuation orders and warnings on Wednesday.
周三，巨大的SCU闪电综合火灾使圣克拉拉县的部分地区接到疏散命令和警告。
However, instead of immediate alerts, residents said they've been relying on social media.
然而，居民们表示，他们一直在依靠社交媒体得到最新进展，而不是接受到什么警报。
"This is where I've gotten most of my accurate information, is through Twitter," Jacqueline Garcia said.
杰奎琳·加西亚说:“我的大部分准确信息都是通过推特得到的。”
She and her family have lived in the San Jose foothills for nine years.
她和她的家人已经在San Jose住了九年。
On Wednesday afternoon, her home sat just a mile and a half from a neighborhood under evacuation orders.
周三下午，她的家距离一个接到疏散命令的社区只有1.5英里。
She said the direction offered didn't paint a clear picture of who needs to leave.
她说，政府给出的方向并没有明确说明谁需要离开。
"Are you talking about us? How far up the mountain are we talking?" she asked, in response to the directive posted to Twitter by Cal Fire. "And that makes it really hard for the residents up here to really understand how close the fire is, or how urgent it is."
“你是在说我们吗?”在回应加州消防局发布在Twitter上的指令时，她问道。“这使得这里的居民很难真正理解火势有多近，有多紧急。”
"It would be good for them to know," Garcia said, referring to Cal Fire. "And our state officials to know, and county officials to know that we just need a better system to be able to warn residents of when people need to go."
“我们的州官员和县官员应该知道，我们只是需要一个更好的系统，能够在人们需要离开的时候提醒居民。”
Cal Fire addressed evacuations in a video posted to Twitter.
Cal Fire在推特上发布了一段视频，对疏散进行了说明。
"It can be very complicated," Unit Chief Jake Hess with the Cal Fire Santa Clara Unit said about evacuations. "Just know that we are doing everything in our power to ensure that these are smooth, and we are giving you plenty of time to get these warnings and orders executed."
“情况可能非常复杂，”加州消防队圣克拉拉分队的队长杰克·赫斯谈到疏散时说。“你要知道，我们正在尽一切努力确保一切顺利，我们会给你足够的时间来执行这些警告和命令。”
Cal Fire did publish a live map of evacuation zones, as did Santa Clara County, but some are still confused.
加州大火和圣克拉拉县发布了疏散区域的实时地图，但仍有一些人感到困惑。
Searching for answers, resident Estela Escalante used Twitter to reach the mayor.
为了寻找答案，居民Estela Escalante使用Twitter联系了市长。
"I told him where I lived and should I leave," Escalante explained. "And he was kind enough to respond and to say that my specific area wasn't being evacuated."
“我告诉了他我住在哪里，以及我应该离开哪里，”埃斯卡兰特解释道。“他很好地回答了我的问题，并说我所在的地区还没有被疏散。”
After 9:30 p.m. on Wednesday, San Jose Councilman Lan Diep tweeted: "If you live along Piedmont Rd., you are safe. The danger zone has not expanded to that area yet. I know some of you may have received text messages calling you to evacuate, but those messages are not precise. Do not panic."
周三晚上9点30分以后，圣何塞市议员兰·迪普在推特上写道:“如果你住在皮埃蒙特路，你就安全了。危险区还没有扩大到那个地区。我知道你们中的一些人可能收到了要求撤离的短信，但这些短信并不精确。不要恐慌。”
The clarification posted to social media was just another example of the confusion felt by residents.
发布在社交媒体上的澄清只是居民们感到困惑的又一个例子。
However, both Garcia and Escalante said they're already packed and ready to go, ahead of an evacuation warning.
不过，加西亚和埃斯卡兰特表示，他们已经打包好行李，准备在接到疏散警告前出发。
San Jose Fire Captain Mitch Matlow echoed the need for residents to be ready.
圣何塞消防队长米奇·马特洛也表示，居民们需要做好准备。
"When the evacuation order comes, get out now," he cautioned. "That doesn't mean 10 minutes from now, it means get out now. It means that the risk to life and property is real."
“当疏散命令下达时，马上离开，”他警告说。这并不是指10分钟后，而是指现在就离开。这意味着生命和财产的风险是真实存在的。”
said she isn't blaming Cal Fire for the confusion. She shared words of gratitude for the men and women battling the massive wildfires.
Garcia并不责怪Cal Fire造成了混乱。她向正在与大火搏斗的消防队员们表达了感激之情。
She also added, "We'll depend on Cal Fire. We'll have faith in them... And hopefully we'll have a house to come back to at the end of this."
她还补充说，“我们将依赖Cal Fire。我们对他们有信心……希望最后我们能回到自己的家。”
The City of San Jose developed a map for its residents to monitor who is under evacuation orders and warnings. It used information provided by Cal Fire.
圣何塞市为其居民开发了一张地图，以监视哪些人正在接受疏散命令和警告。它使用了Cal Fire提供的信息。
For those evacuating, there are two evacuation centers for those impacted by the SCU Lightning Complex Fire: Creekside Middle School in Patterson and the Milpitas Library.
对于疏散人员，有两个疏散中心是为受SCU雷击火灾影响的人准备的:帕特森的溪边中学和密尔皮塔斯图书馆。
