Governor Kathy Hochul emphasized New York's commitment to assistance, stating, "When Hurricane Helene hit communities in the south, New York was there to help. We sent over 200 state and local personnel and National Guard members to lend a hand. Now, we're prepared to do the same for our neighbors in Florida as they prepare for Hurricane Milton." This highlights New York's proactive approach in responding to natural disasters and supporting affected states.
The statement from the city's Emergency Management office noted that Hurricane Milton "poses no threat" to New York City, but it advised residents with connections to western Florida to warn their contacts to evacuate and prepare, showing the importance of preparedness even when no direct threat is posed.
