Earthquakes are a natural phenomenon that often occurs in Indonesia, a country located on the Pacific Ring of Fire. With more than 17,000 islands, Indonesia has many earthquake-prone areas, and high seismic activity can cause significant impacts on society and infrastructure. After the latest earthquake, which occurred on October 10 2023 in the Central Sulawesi area, residents in the area felt strong shaking. The magnitude scale reached 6.7, causing severe damage, especially to old buildings and public infrastructure. Many houses collapsed, and road access was cut off, making evacuation difficult. The local government immediately issued a warning and deployed rescue teams to carry out evacuations. The social impact of the earthquake was very pronounced. Many residents lost their homes and property. Psychological trauma is also a crucial issue, especially for children who witnessed these events. With this condition, mental health services are needed to help people recover emotionally. For disaster management, the central government collaborates with the National Disaster Management Agency (BNPB) to visit affected locations. Emergency teams were deployed to provide food assistance, temporary shelter and medical care. In situations like this, it is important for the public to understand the importance of early evacuation when an earthquake occurs. Disaster mitigation efforts continue to be improved by educating the public about how to deal with earthquakes. An outreach program regarding the use of earthquake prevention tools, such as building structural protection, is recommended to reduce the impact of future earthquakes. Apart from that, the government is also encouraging the development of earthquake-resistant infrastructure to be better prepared to face this natural phenomenon. Strict regulations on building construction permits were also introduced to ensure safety. Supervision in the construction of tall buildings and public infrastructure in earthquake-prone areas is a top priority. With technological innovation, such as the use of flexible building materials, it is hoped that it can reduce the risk of collapse during an earthquake. Nationally and internationally, various organizations that focus on humanitarian assistance are taking part, by providing donations and support for the rehabilitation of affected areas. Cooperation between countries in disaster management is also the key to increasing disaster response capacity in Indonesia. The training series for volunteers and local communities is being strengthened, with the aim of making them able to respond if a similar disaster occurs in the future. The existence of resilient communities is very important in facing disaster challenges proactively. With this collaborative approach, hope for reducing the impact of earthquakes is increasingly wide open. In the future, Indonesia must remain alert and ready to face the possibility of a large-scale earthquake that could occur at any time. Understanding and education about disasters is the first step to building collective awareness in society, so that together, we can reduce the risks and impacts they cause. Community initiatives in providing information and practical advice are vital in dealing with earthquakes in Indonesia.
