Let's Learn Geology and Earthquake Experts So


Until now there has been no technological know for sure about the time and place of the earthquake. For that, people do not need to panic if there are parties who claim to know about it. Thus said Fauzi, head of Center for Earthquake and Tsunami BMKG, rampant related parties claim to have information about the area to be hit by the earthquake.

"It is not true if anyone says the earthquake will occur in the region A at time B," he said on Wednesday (7 / 10) in Jakarta. Fauzi said, which can only be done is to give early warning about the time of the earthquake. That way, the community was prepared when the quake struck at a certain time.

In addition to early warning, he continued, the public must also know which areas are prone to earthquakes. Earthquake-prone areas in Indonesia are divided into six regions. The most vulnerable areas affected by the earthquake is the west coast of Sumatra, south of Java, south of East Nusa Tenggara, north of Papua, and Sulawesi.

"People who were there must always be ready with the possibility of an earthquake happens because the regions that are active earthquake area," he said.

Furthermore, Fauzi deplored the actions of some media quoted by providing information about the time and date will be an earthquake. "When interviewed, I said possibility. But when he came out, the word 'may' is omitted so that the impression for sure. But, not so mean," he regrets.

Furthermore, he said, after a region shaken by a powerful earthquake, earthquake, aftershocks will occur. However, people do not need to worry because usually the quake, an aftershock of the quake was not before. As happened in Padang and surrounding areas, the first earthquake magnitude 7.6 Richter scale, after which the next quake in the Richter scale 5.
