New York Governor Andrew Cuomo has declared a state of emergency for parts of the US state because of the hurricane “Henri”. These included the city of New York, Long Island and a few other areas. In the USA, a state of emergency is often declared out of caution, because this means that responsibilities are shifted from the federal government to regional authorities. “New Yorkers, please take this seriously, think of Hurricane Sandy!” Cuomo said at a press conference on Saturday.
