圣迭戈巴尔博亚公园10月15日迎来7级地震模拟器体验，加州四城防灾巡回最后一站
圣迭戈讯——加州应急服务办公室（Cal OES）本周启动的“2026 加州大震动巡回展”（Great California ShakeOut Tour）将于本周四、10 月 15 日抵达圣迭戈巴尔博亚公园，公众可免费登上地震模拟器，亲身感受最高 7.0 级地震的摇晃强度。
据 Cal OES 10 月 8 日发布的公告，巡回展连续四天在加州四座城市设站：10 月 12 日旧金山州立大学、13 日萨克拉门托州立大学、14 日洛杉矶加大（UCLA），15 日圣迭戈巴尔博亚公园为最后一站。
圣迭戈站设在巴尔博亚公园巴拿马广场喷泉（Plaza de Panama Fountain）北侧，地址为 1549 El Prado，公众开放时间为上午 6 点至中午 12 点。现场除模拟器体验外，还有地震专家驻场，向居民讲解地震预警技术、防灾准备要点，以及“趴下、掩护、稳住”（Drop, Cover, Hold On）等关键自救动作。据主办方介绍，Cal OES 定制的模拟器长 36 英尺（约 11 米）、高 14 英尺，可模拟最高 7.0 级地震的震感。
值得注意的是，10 月 15 日上午 10 点 15 分，加州全州将同步举行年度“大震动”地震演习（Great California ShakeOut），届时数百万加州居民将同时练习趴下、掩护、稳住的动作，是全美规模最大的公众地震防灾演练。
Cal OES 局长卡罗琳·托马斯·雅各布斯（Caroline Thomas Jacobs）在声明中表示，在加州，问题不是大地震是否会发生，而是何时会发生；州府希望把防灾工具和信息直接送到各个社区，帮助家庭在灾难来临前做好保护。
背景：加州地处环太平洋地震带，圣安德烈亚斯断层等多条断层纵贯全州，地震被视为加州最主要的自然灾害威胁之一。圣迭戈虽不像旧金山、洛杉矶那样处于高震区，但历史上也多次感受到南加地震的强烈震感。Cal OES 在公告中同时辟谣了几则常见误区：小地震并不能释放断层压力从而阻止大地震；余震有时可能造成不亚于主震的破坏；门框并非比建筑其他部位更安全——遭遇地震时最正确的做法仍是趴下、掩护、稳住。
有意采访的媒体须提前向 [email protected] 预约。公众无需预约，15 日上午直接前往巴尔博亚公园即可体验。更多信息可查阅 ShakeOut.org 官方网站登记参与。

Earthquake Simulator Brings 7.0-Magnitude Shake Experience to Balboa Park on Oct. 15, Final Stop of Cal OES Four-City Tour
SAN DIEGO — The California Governor's Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES) kicked off its 2026 Great California ShakeOut Tour this week, and the traveling earthquake simulator will roll into Balboa Park on Thursday, October 15, for its final stop. Members of the public can board the simulator free of charge and feel shaking that replicates the intensity of an earthquake up to magnitude 7.0.
According to the Cal OES announcement released October 8, the tour runs four straight days across four California cities: San Francisco State University on October 12, Sacramento State on October 13, UCLA in Los Angeles on October 14, and Balboa Park in San Diego on October 15.
The San Diego stop is set for the area north of the Plaza de Panama Fountain, at 1549 El Prado. Public hours run from 6 a.m. to noon. In addition to the simulator ride, earthquake experts will be on hand to talk about Earthquake Early Warning technology, preparedness tips, and the life-saving Drop, Cover, Hold On actions. The Cal OES-branded simulator measures 14 feet high by 9 feet wide by 36 feet long.
Notably, October 15 is also the day of the annual Great California ShakeOut: at 10:15 a.m., millions of Californians will simultaneously practice Drop, Cover, Hold On, the largest public earthquake-preparedness activity in the nation.
Cal OES Director Caroline Thomas Jacobs said in a statement that in California, the question is not whether the next earthquake will strike but when — which is why the state is bringing preparedness tools and information directly to communities so families can protect themselves before disaster hits.
Some context: California sits on the Pacific Ring of Fire, crossed by the San Andreas Fault and many other faults, and earthquakes are considered one of the state's principal natural-disaster threats. While San Diego is not in the highest-shaking zone like San Francisco or Los Angeles, the region has felt strong Southern California quakes many times. Cal OES also used the announcement to debunk common myths: small earthquakes do not relieve fault pressure and prevent bigger ones; aftershocks can sometimes be as destructive as the main shock; and doorways are no safer than other parts of a modern building — Drop, Cover, Hold On remains the correct response.
Media must RSVP in advance to [email protected]. The public needs no reservation — just head to Balboa Park on the morning of the 15th. More information and registration are available at ShakeOut.org.
