Indonesia and Geological Disaster
The Indonesian people live in an active tectonic plate confluence area and in a tropical climate area. This means that we live in an area prone to earthquakes, tsunamis, liquefaction, volcanic eruptions, ground movements, etc. At the same time we live in an area with lots of rain, wind, heat, high tides, big waves etc. that occur every year. In the last few years, the phenomenon of el nino, la nina, cyclones etc. has appeared. which contributed to triggering and magnifying droughts, landslides, and flash floods.
The results of the research show that these natural events have strengths, return periods, locations and certain paths that can be recognized. Natural events will continue to occur as part of the dynamics of the earth and we must adapt to these conditions. For example, we live in a M6.0 earthquake area, so our houses must comply with earthquake resistant building regulations and the whole community must prepare themselves for a M6.0 earthquake. Don’t blame nature anymore if we haven’t tried to adapt to the natural conditions in the area.
