中新网2月20日电 中国地震台网正式测定：02月20日22时18分在台湾花莲县海域(北纬24.01度，东经122.39度)发生4.0级地震，震源深度11千米。地震发生时，当地震感明显，但目前尚无财产损失和人员伤亡的报告。
据悉，花莲县位于台湾本岛东部，靠近海域，是一个地震多发区。此次地震的发生，再次提醒了当地居民要加强对地震知识的了解和应对能力的提升。
地震专家表示，此次地震属于浅源地震，震源深度较浅，因此地震波在地表的传播较为明显。虽然地震级数不大，但由于花莲县海域地区人口密集，因此对当地居民的生活造成了一定的影响。
目前，中国地震台网和当地地震部门已经启动了应急预案，正在对地震情况进行进一步监测和评估。同时，也提醒广大民众保持冷静，注意安全，随时关注地震预警信息。

News content：
A magnitude 4.0 earthquake struck the sea area of Hualien County, Taiwan, at 22:18 on February 20th, according to the China Earthquake Networks Center. The earthquake had a depth of 11 kilometers. Local residents felt the tremors, but there have been no reports of property damage or injuries so far.
It is noted that Hualien County, located in the eastern part of Taiwan Island, is close to the sea and is a seismically active area. The occurrence of this earthquake once again reminds local residents to strengthen their understanding of earthquake knowledge and improve their ability to respond to earthquakes.
Earthquake experts said that this earthquake belongs to a shallow-source earthquake, with a relatively shallow focus, which makes the earthquake waves more obvious on the surface. Although the earthquake magnitude is not large, due to the high population density in the Hualien County sea area, it has caused some impact on the local residents’ lives.
At present, the China Earthquake Networks Center and the local earthquake authorities have activated their emergency plans and are further monitoring and assessing the earthquake situation. At the same time, it is advised that the public remain calm, pay attention to safety, and stay tuned for earthquake warning information.
