New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani announced Monday that no deaths have been recorded thus far from Winter Storm Hernando. That stands in contrast to the late January cold snap, when 18 to 20 people died, several in cases preliminarily linked to overdoses. Mamdani told MSNBC’s Katy Tur the city learned from the previous cold spell and adjusted its emergency response, keeping overdose prevention and warming centers open overnight and expanding outreach, bringing more than 160 unsheltered New Yorkers into beds or safe spaces over two nights.
