"New York State Gears Up for Total Solar Eclipse"

Governor Hochul and state leaders are preparing New York residents for the upcoming Total Solar Eclipse, advising travelers to plan for congestion and use 511NY for updates. State parks' campgrounds are nearly sold out for the day of the eclipse, and residents are encouraged to purchase effective eclipse-viewing glasses and avoid traveling on the day of the event. Cell phone service may be overloaded, but 911 calls will still go through, and various preparations are underway, including school closures, traffic management, and store closures for employees to view the eclipse.
