中新网7月30日电 据美国地质勘探局(USGS)消息,当地时间7月29日下午,加利福尼亚州洛杉矶东北方向巴斯托附近发生4.9级地震。地震发生在当地时间29日下午1时左右,南加州大部分地区都有震感。据报道,地震后又发生了两次较小的余震,其中一次余震规模为3.5级。目前暂无人员伤亡和财产损失报告。
此次地震发生在南加州,该地区位于著名的圣安德烈亚斯断层带上,这是一条长达800公里的断层线,被认为是美国最活跃的地震带之一。由于历史上的地震记录和地质构造,南加州居民对于地震已经有了较为充分的准备。然而,即使是这样,地震的发生仍然引起了当地居民的恐慌和关注。
美国地质勘探局(USGS)已经发布了地震警报,提醒居民保持警惕,并提供了一些应对地震的指导。居民被建议在地震发生时,立即采取保护措施,如躲在桌子下或坚固的物体后面,并保持冷静,直到地震结束。
尽管目前没有报告人员伤亡和重大财产损失,但地震专家警告说,随着加州地震带的活动性增加,未来可能还会发生更强烈的地震。因此,加强防震减灾意识和提高建筑物的抗震能力,成为当地政府和居民需要持续关注的问题。
加州居民对于地震的准备程度不一,一些地区已经进行了地震演习和疏散演练,而其他地区则需要进一步加强准备工作。政府和相关机构正在呼吁居民检查家中的应急包,确保有足够的水、食物和急救用品,以及学习如何正确应对地震。
此次4.9级地震再次提醒人们,尽管加州是一个地震多发的地区,但通过正确的准备和应对措施,可以最大限度地减少地震带来的影响。

BEIJING, July 30 (Xinhua) — A 4.9-magnitude earthquake jolted the vicinity of Barstow, northeast of Los Angeles, in California, according to the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). The quake occurred around 1 p.m. local time on July 29, and was felt across much of Southern California.
It was reported that two smaller aftershocks followed the earthquake, with one measuring 3.5 magnitude. At present, there are no reports of casualties or significant property damage.
The earthquake occurred in Southern California, a region that lies along the famous San Andreas Fault, a fault line stretching over 800 kilometers and considered one of the most seismically active regions in the United States. Given the historical earthquake records and geological structures, residents in Southern California are well-prepared for earthquakes. However, the occurrence of the earthquake still caused panic and concern among local residents.
The USGS has issued an earthquake warning, urging residents to remain vigilant and providing guidance on how to respond to earthquakes. Residents are advised to take immediate protective measures during an earthquake, such as seeking shelter under a table or behind a sturdy object, and to remain calm until the shaking stops.
Although there are no reports of casualties or major property damage at present, earthquake experts warn that with the increasing activity of the California seismic zone, more powerful earthquakes may occur in the future. Therefore, enhancing awareness of disaster prevention and improving the seismic resistance of buildings have become issues that local governments and residents need to continuously focus on.
Residents’ preparedness for earthquakes varies across different areas of California. Some regions have conducted earthquake drills and evacuation exercises, while other areas need to strengthen their preparations. Governmental bodies and relevant institutions are calling on residents to check their emergency kits at home, ensuring they have enough water, food, and first aid supplies, as well as learning how to correctly respond to earthquakes.
The 4.9-magnitude earthquake serves as a reminder that, despite California being a region prone to frequent earthquakes, proper preparation and response measures can minimize the impact of earthquakes.
