The BMKG’s Rahmat assured that the earthquake will not cause a tsunami. “However, the scale of the earthquake is strong enough to shake walls and rattle windows as well as doors. The BMKG also detected two aftershocks measuring 3.1 and 2.9 Richter scales,” he asserted. '

“I urge the public to remain calm and not be influenced by unsubstantiated rumors. I also suggest avoiding buildings with cracked [foundations] or other damages,” Rahmat noted.

“The public should also secure their homes against earthquakes, or ensure that the tremors will not undermine the home’s foundations before moving back in.”

Indonesia is located in the Ring of Fire, an area in the Indo-Pacific region that is vulnerable to earthquakes, volcanoes and other military disasters.
