[QUOTE="Astra_Jingga, post: 241712, member: 15080"] It was a tectonic earthquake caused by some active fault (Cimandiri fault). But at the first glance on the map showing the epicenter of the earthquake, I was actually afraid of something else. The epicenter is shown to be slightly west of Cianjur, and around that spot, we also have Gede Pangrango mountain, the largest volcanic mountain in the area, and it is still active. I was worried the earthquake would also affect the volcanic activities there. Indonesian Center For Volcanology and Geological Hazard Mitigation under the Geological Agency of the Indonesian Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources however, announced that on Tuesday November 22, Gede Pangrango mountain activities are still in normal level. I hope it'd stay that way as a volcanic eruption is going to be the last thing we need right now, we have enough damage already in the area. Thank you, but it's okay... I guess... Something those who live in Indonesia need to understand (and sometimes, endure), is the fact that Indonesia sits on top of active tectonic plates that in turn gave us many active volcanoes as well. It says only one thing; that we really need to be aware of the consequencies of living in such a region. From what I gathered, our overall city planning is still a mess when it comes to disaster countermeasure layouts. It can be fatal, especially in coastal and mountainous regions such as Sukabumi (West Java South Coast), and Cianjur-Cipanas. Many of our cities are still overcrowded and crammed with buildings, makes it rather hard for the people to try to save themselves whenever something happened. We need to free more [safe] space between buildings, in my opinion, so people would have enough place to run to in case of emergency, as well as enabling rescue vehicles to pass trough without much hindrances. Well... What can I say. Java Island is the most populated island in Indonesia with half (maybe more) of Indonesian population living here. Re-planning won't be something easy, but I do hope we can start something better with Cianjur re-building process. Ah, you're right. I don't know... I do know that old devices tend to break down a lot. Maybe it's because of our Earth is old that it's been having more 'break downs' than it used to be, so to say...(?) To think that back in the day (around 90's and early 2000's) we rarely had major disasters in Indonesia. It changed I guess, after on December 2004 we have some huge tsunami wiped out the northern tip of Sumatera Island; it seemed we start to have more natural disasters afterwards, like one following after the other. As to hearing Cianjur region being shocked by a 5.6 magnitude earthquake like that alone, was like having a sudden slap in the face to me so to say. I lived my early years there for almost 15 years (1978-1993) and we've never had anything so damaging happened during those years. Only once, around 1993 or 1994, we were having Gede Pangrango mountain activities increased to a level that the people inside of the eruption perimeter were being given alert warning by the local government, but the activities then slowly subsided by itself. One of the stories has it that there was a ritual taken place at the time to appease the spirit of the mountain, so to say, since Gede Pangrango mountain is considered to be some kind of sacred ground by some-if not most, Sundanese.
