**10th Anniversary of the Tewksbury Earthquake** Ten years ago today, millions of people throughout the eastern US experienced the shaking from a magnitude 5.8 earthquake near Lebanon, New Jersey. The earthquake, which occurred in the early afternoon of August 23, 2011, was the strongest with an epicenter in the NY area since 1884 and the fourth-strongest ever. According to the US Geological Survey, the earthquake was centered near Whitehouse Station, New Jersey, about 40 miles west of New York City. The shaking was felt as far away as Washington, D.C., and Boston. There were no reports of major damage or injuries from the earthquake. However, the shaking caused some minor damage to buildings and infrastructure in the epicentral area. The Tewksbury earthquake was a reminder of the potential for earthquakes in the eastern US. While earthquakes are less common in this region than in the western US, they can still occur and cause significant damage. It is important for people in the eastern US to be prepared for earthquakes. This includes having an earthquake preparedness plan and building an emergency kit. More information on earthquake preparedness is available from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) at www.ready.gov.
**Earthquake of Magnitude 3.8 Jolts Buffalo, New York** A magnitude 3.8 earthquake struck Western New York on Monday, February 6, 2023, at approximately 6:15 AM PST. The epicenter of the earthquake was located near Buffalo, in Erie County. According to the United States Geological Survey (USGS), the earthquake was felt across the Buffalo area and surrounding regions. Residents reported experiencing shaking and, in some cases, broken objects or minor structural damage. There were no immediate reports of any serious injuries or significant damage. However, the quake sparked concern among residents, who are not accustomed to such seismic activity. "We're not used to earthquakes in this part of the country," said one resident. "It was quite surprising and a bit frightening." The USGS noted that earthquakes in the Northeast United States are relatively rare. However, Western New York has experienced a handful of minor earthquakes in recent years. The last significant quake in the region was a magnitude 4.1 earthquake that occurred in February 2023. Local authorities are monitoring the situation and urging residents to stay calm and be prepared for possible aftershocks. The USGS also recommends that residents take steps to earthquake-proof their homes, such as securing furniture and installing smoke detectors. The magnitude 3.8 earthquake serves as a reminder that seismic activity can occur anywhere, even in areas not typically known for earthquakes. It is important for residents to be aware of the potential risks and to take appropriate precautions.

**New York and New Jersey Shaken by 3.6 Earthquake** **Albany, NY - April 23, 2023** A 3.6 magnitude earthquake shook parts of New York and New Jersey on Sunday morning, according to the United States Geological Survey (USGS). The quake occurred at 11:10 AM PDT, with an epicenter located 1 km west-northwest of Adams, New York. Citizen reports indicate the earthquake was felt as far away as Albany, New York. This earthquake follows a larger quake that rattled the same region last May with a magnitude of 2.2. According to the USGS, the area is prone to occasional earthquakes due to its location near a fault line. While no injuries or damage have been reported, the earthquake serves as a reminder of the potential for seismic activity in the region. The USGS urges residents to be prepared for future earthquakes by developing an earthquake safety plan and having an emergency kit on hand. The USGS map shows citizen reports of feeling the earthquake, providing valuable data for understanding the quake's impact. Residents are encouraged to report their experiences on the USGS website: https://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/eventpage/us7000ir82#executive
