NYC Emergency Management is monitoring a potential severe geomagnetic storm that may impact New York City on October 10-11. Our federal partners from the Space Weather Prediction Center (SWPC) have issued a Geomagentic Storm Watch.
NYC Emergency Management advises New Yorkers to monitor Notify NYC for emergency updates. Sign up for alerts at
NYC.gov/notifynyc or by calling 311. While the public does not need to take any action at this time, we always encourage everyone to stay informed through Notify NYC and having an emergency plan in place that includes a Go Bag with an AM radio.
Impacts to critical infrastructure, including GPS, power grids, and communications including inaccuracies or disruptions, are possible.
