Great news for all New Yorkers. #NYCAging

LATEST: All city agencies and our partners at the state and federal level continue to monitor the aftermath of the earthquake that was felt this morning in New York City.

I held a briefing with agency officials to provide an update this afternoon. Here's what to know:

Should you feel any aftershocks, remain in place. Do not evacuate out of buildings. If you are outdoors during an earthquake, seek open space.

For full guidance on what to do before, after, and during earthquakes, please visit: on.nyc.gov/earthquake.

The USGS asks that anyone who experienced the 4.7M earthquake out of Southern NJ this morning fill out their survey:

earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/ev…

All our teams continue to monitor potential impacts from this morning's earthquake. There are no major impacts at this time.

You can watch Mayor Eric Adams's update here: youtube.com/live/acTwf2y5u…

Sign up for NYCEM - Notify NYC at nyc.gov/notify to receive updates and alerts.

If you are in danger, please dial 911. To report non-emergency issues please call 311. Communicate your status so others know you’re okay. Text messages are more likely to go through when phone lines are busy. Check on your neighbors if safe to do so.

Please follow NYCEM - Notify NYC.

USGS reports a 4.7 magnitude earthquake in NYC. No reports of damage/injuries in NYC. earthquake.usgs.gov/dyfi/. Multilingual & ASL Link: on.nyc.gov/1NHXAwb

In case of an aftershock, drop to the floor, cover your head and neck, and take additional cover under a solid piece of furniture, next to an interior wall, or in a doorway.

We will be updating the public very soon with additional updates.

New York City just felt the impacts of a 4.8 magnitude earthquake with an epicenter of Lebanon, New Jersey.

Mayor Eric Adams is being briefed. While we do not have any reports of major impacts at this time, we’re still assessing the impact.
