In the 1990s there were 7 (seven) deadly tsunami events due to earthquakes in Indonesia. There is M 7.8 North-east of Flores island sea earthquake (1992), M 7.6 South of Java island sea earthquake (1994), M 6.8 South of Timor Island sea earthquake (1995), M 7.8 North-west of Sulawesi island sea earthquake (1996), M 7.9 East of Biak island sea earthquake (1996), M 7.7 Taliabu island sea earthquake (1998), and M 7.4 East of Banggai Island sea earthquake (2000). Those earthquake and tsunami disasters events affected the number of casualties and damaged houses in coastal areas. Surely those events present a few lessons learned for future disaster preparedness in Indonesia.
Resilience is more capable of dealing with hydro-meteorological disasters compared to the risk. Resilience is a positive concept that puts forward adaptation efforts so that more in line with sustainable development goals. This study aims to introduce the resilience concept in dealing with hydro-meteorological disasters and apply it at the provincial level in Indonesia. The methods used are: 1) measuring the climate risk index (CRI), 2) measuring the adaptation capacity index (ACI), and 3) classifying the provinces based on CRI and ACI. Grouping CRI and ACI are used to define provinces which have the potential to bounce back better (low CRI - high ACI), bounce back (high CRI – high ACI), recover but worse than before (low CRI -low ACI), and collapse (high CRI – low ACI). The study results indicate that throughout 2017 there are 10 provinces that South Sumatra, Central Java, and West Nusa Tenggara. In contrast, 3 provinces with the most have the potential to bounce back better, 7 provinces bounce back, 7 provinces recover but worse than before, and 10 provinces collapse. In general, 3 provinces with the lowest resilience are resilient levels are Riau, Bangka Belitung, and Riau Islands.
This study aims to denote the possible casualties and damages due to the M<5 earthquake. We used the desk study of literatures to explore earthquake disaster reports. The published significant and destructive earthquakes catalogue by BMKG Indonesia along 2015-2019 noted that six events out of them in Java island due to by below magnitude 5 (M<5) earthquakes. Those are sourced in the land and shallow depth focus on the active faults region. Those earthquakes also cause human losses, that is three events out of them induce casualties, and kill two (2) people. Preliminary analysis concludes that the short distance to earthquake source and local site condition was responsible for this unexpected building damages. We suggest this events to be the lesson learned for disaster risk managers to consider the low magnitude earthquake also able to generate the high hazard on the certain seismic prone areas.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
