Abstract

Unlike many regions of the United States that live with seasonal disasters such as hurricanes, snow storms, or flooding from torrential rains, the greatest threat of natural disaster in California still comes from earthquakes (TransPacific Renal Network, 1998). This was proven on October 17, 1989 when the Loma Prieta earthquake rolled through northern California. Measured as 7.1 on the Richter scale, the quake's epicenter was located about 10 miles northeast of Santa Cruz along a segment of the San Andreas Fault near the town of Loma Prieta in the Santa Cruz Mountains. The impact, however, was felt throughout most of the northern portion of the state.

摘要

与美国许多地区不同，这些地区会遭受飓风、暴风雪或暴雨引发的洪水等季节性灾害，而加利福尼亚州面临的最大自然灾害威胁仍然来自地震（跨太平洋肾脏网络，1998年）。1989年10月17日，洛马普列塔地震席卷加利福尼亚州北部，这一点得到了证明。此次地震里氏震级为7.1级，震中位于圣克鲁斯东北约10英里处，沿着圣安德烈亚斯断层的一段，靠近圣克鲁斯山脉洛马普列塔镇。然而，整个该州北部大部分地区都感受到了此次地震的影响。
