Twenty-six minutes passed before New York City officials sent an emergency alert about the recent earthquake, with social media already spreading the news. Some officials defended the 20-minute alert time, while critics like city councilman Shaun Abreu expressed disappointment.
Mayor Eric Adams' administration faced mixed reactions to the response time of the earthquake alert, with Emergency Management Commissioner Zach Iscol defending the protocol and noting the challenges of confirming the event before sending out notifications.
