美国国土安全部长将赴龙卷风灾区视察

U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano travels to Oklahoma on Wednesday to assess recovery efforts in the city of Moore, where a devastating tornado killed at least 24 people and injured 240 others.

Napolitano\'s department includes the Federal Emergency Management Agency, which has teams helping with search and recovery operations, damage assessments and providing federal aid to people affected by Monday\'s tornado.

The storm destroyed large parts of the central U.S. city with what weather officials say were winds of at least 322 kilometers per hour.

The town\'s fire chief says emergency workers will not stop searching for survivors and plan to go through the rubble of each building at least three times. 

President Barack Obama has declared a major disaster in Oklahoma.  He says the people of Moore are not standing alone, as they recover and rebuild.

国土安全部的下属机构联邦紧急事务管理局派出工作队，协助搜寻、恢复和评估等工作，并为受到星期一龙卷风影响的人们提供联邦救援。

这场龙卷风摧毁了美国中部这座城镇的大部分地区，气象机构官员说，龙卷风的风速至少达到每小时322公里。

穆尔镇的消防队长说，紧急救援人员不会停止搜救幸存者的行动，计划在每座建筑的废墟中至少搜寻3遍。

奥巴马总统宣布俄克拉荷马州的风灾为重大灾害。他说，穆尔居民在恢复与重建过程中不是孤立无援的。
