Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.) vowed to help Bay Area residents, who were hit by a 6.0 magnitude earthquake on Sunday.

Sunday’s earthquake was the largest in Northern California for nearly 25 years, according to the U.S. Geological Service.

The quake was centered in Napa County but affected other areas in the region.
