政府官员星期四上午视察了地震灾区以协调救灾工作。
Nearly 700 miles long, the earthquake zone is located by the North American Plate off the coast of Pacific British Columbia, Washington, Oregon and Northern California.地震带位于太平洋的大不列颠哥伦比亚省、华盛顿州、俄勒冈州和北加州沿海的北美板块，近700英里长。
The Cascadia earthquake zone is big enough to compete with San Andreas (it's been called the most dangerous fault in America), but it's much lesser known than its California cousin.卡斯卡迪亚地震带足够大，可以与圣安地列斯（它被称为美国最危险的断层）相媲美，但它的知名度远不及它在加州的表亲。
