The United States Geological Survey (USGS) reports that a 3.0 magnitude earthquake occurred in Hasbrouck Heights, New Jersey around 10:20 PM Saturday, August 2, 2025. NYC Emergency Management is monitoring for impacts and coordinating with agency partners.

Be prepared for possible aftershocks. These may follow minutes, hours, or even days after the initial quake.

It's important to follow safety precautions during an earthquake.

If you are indoors during an earthquake:

• Stay inside. Get under a desk or table and hang on to it or move into a hallway or against an inside wall.
• Stay clear of windows, fireplaces, and heavy furniture or appliances. 
• Get out of the kitchen, which is a dangerous place (things can fall on you).
• Do not run downstairs or rush outside while the building is shaking. Doing so can risk falling and hurting yourself or being hit by falling glass or debris.

If you are outside during an earthquake:

• Get into the open, away from buildings, power lines, chimneys, and anything else that might fall on you.

No immediate protective action is needed unless you experienced damage. If you felt shaking, check for hazards such as shifted items, falling debris or cracks.
