California officials are currently addressing earthquake activity in the northern part of the state. Governor Gavin Newsom announced the response in a recent post. The California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services is working closely with local officials in Humboldt and Lake counties, where the earthquake activity was reported.
The state and local personnel are actively assessing the impacts of the earthquakes to determine the extent of the situation. The largest earthquake felt in Northern California on Thursday had a preliminary magnitude of 7.0, as reported by the US Geological Survey. It is noted that earthquakes often occur in clusters, which can lead to heightened concerns about potential aftershocks.
