New York Governor Kathy Hochul has issued important safety tips in the wake of a 4.8 magnitude earthquake that recently hit the area. Hochul emphasized that residents in the Northeast are not accustomed to dealing with earthquakes and should take necessary precautions.
Hochul stressed the importance of being prepared for potential aftershocks. In the event of an aftershock, individuals are advised to drop to the floor, cover their neck, and hold onto something sturdy. This simple action can help protect individuals from falling debris and injuries.
