Today's riddle: What do you call somebody who crosses the ocean twice and doesn't take a bath? 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. USS Abraham Lincoln Sailors Welcomed by Families After Return to San Diego (military.com) — Sailors from the USS Abraham Lincoln are finally back at Naval Air Station North Island in Coronado after a record‑long deployment, reuniting with anxious families who spent months worrying about their loved ones' safety and mental health. Local relatives described overwhelming relief as Navy leaders acknowledged suicide attempts and hardships aboard, while the defense secretary praised the crew's combat service and awarded a presidential unit citation.
2. Coronado is moving emergency notification systems from Nixle to Everbridge (thecoronadonews.com) — Coronado residents need to switch their emergency alerts from Nixle to the new Everbridge system by April 1 if they want to keep getting local police and city notifications. During a six‑month transition, messages will go out on both platforms, and Everbridge lets you choose how you're contacted and confirm you've seen urgent alerts.
3. A 'Super' El Niño is here. What does this mean for Coronado? (thecoronadonews.com) — Coronado leaders are bracing for a powerful Super El Niño that could bring higher tides, stronger storms, and more flooding to the island, even though exact local impacts remain uncertain. City officials highlight vulnerable beaches, new drainage projects like the Parker Pump Station, updated emergency alerts, and upcoming town halls and online resources to help residents prepare for potential winter hazards.
4. Not sure how to prepare for winter storms? Take a look at this guide (thecoronadonews.com) — With stronger El Niño‑driven storms expected, Coronado is offering residents up to 10 free sandbags per household and a detailed online storm‑preparedness guide. Locals are urged to clear drains, secure trash carts, plan evacuation routes, avoid floodwaters and downed lines, and sign up for emergency alerts to protect their homes, families, and pets this winter.
