CALIFORNIA MOBILIZES SUPPORT FOR HUMBOLDT COUNTY AFTER EARTHQUAKE

On Tuesday, the Humboldt County community and many in Northern California were awoken in the early hours of the morning by a M6.4 earthquake - many received an early warning through California’s shake alert app, MyShake. The earthquake resulted in two fatalities and injured multiple people, caused power outages and damaged roads, bridges, buildings and critical infrastructure including water lines and gas lines. Governor Newsom and his administration moved quickly, proclaiming a state of emergency order to facilitate support for the community and region, and restoring power to all communities less than 48 hours after the earthquake struck.

• WHAT GOVERNOR NEWSOM SAID: “Jennifer and I send our heartfelt condolences to the families grieving the loss of loved ones and offer our best wishes for the recovery of those who were injured in this earthquake. California stands with the people of Humboldt County and the state has moved quickly to support the emergency response underway with local and tribal partners. I thank all of the women and men who have mobilized to protect public safety and support the community at this challenging time.
