Disaster Areas in Indonesia
Hello guys .....
Welcome back to my blog :)

So in this blog, I want to share for you about Disaster Areas.
Letsssss check it out !!!!
Indonesia has long been shadowed by natural disasters every time, floods, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, landslides, and other disasters have been familiar with people since the days of our ancestors. Even if there were countless victims, there were also factors that underlie Indonesia as one of the most disaster-prone areas, that is:
- Indonesia is in the Pacific Ring Fire Region Line
- Indonesian territory is on the Alpide Belt Line
- Located on Three plates of the World
- The Tropical Climate in Indonesia Also Affects Natural Phenomena Many
There are many regions in Indonesia that have experienced natural disasters, here are some areas in Indonesia that have experienced disasters:
1. Mount Merapi Eruption
Based on BNPB Pusdalops data as of November 27, 2010, the Mount Merapi eruption disaster has resulted in 277 people died in the Special Region of Yogyakarta and 109 people died in the Central Java region. Tens of thousands of people have been displaced and thousands of animals have died. The disaster caused major damage and losses in the Magelang, Boyolali, Klaten, and Sleman regions. From the historical records collected today, the eruption of Mount Merapi, located on the border of Central Java and DIY, began on October 26, 2010. The mountain experienced several eruptions that began at 17.02 WIB. Since then, the mountain with a height of 2,930 meters has experienced a series of eruptions accompanied by hot clouds and cold lava floods to reach its peak on November 5, 2010. The eruption continued until some time later. From BNPB data, on November 3, 2010, the activity of Mount Merapi increased with the continuous hot clouds starting at 11:11 WIB until 15.00 WIB without stopping with hot cloud sliding distance reaching 9 km from the peak of Mount Merapi. The safe radius is 15 km from the summit. Then on November 4, 2010, a further eruption occurred with the gliding distance of the hot clouds reaching 14 km from the summit. As of November 5, 2010, at 1:00 a.m. WIB the safe area was set outside a radius of 20 km from the summit. The eruption was preceded by a roar that was heard up to a distance of 29 km from the summit of Mount Merapi, the City of Yogyakarta. It was also heard as far as the City of Magelang and Wonosobo. Gravel and sand rains reached the northern part of Yogyakarta, while concentrated volcanic ash rains hit Purwokerto and Cilacap. In the afternoon, volcanic ash has reached a number of areas in West Java.
2. Tsunami in Aceh
December 26, 2004: At 7.59 local time, an earthquake of magnitude 9.1 to 9.3 on the Richter scale rocked the seabed in southwest Sumatra, about 20 to 25 kilometers offshore. In just a few hours, the tsunami waves from the earthquake reached mainland Africa. 27 December: The United Nations (UN) declares the tsunami in Aceh as the biggest humanitarian disaster ever to occur. International assistance began to move towards the disaster area. The worst affected areas of the tsunami were Aceh, Khao Lak in Thailand and parts of Sri Lanka and India.
30 December: UN Secretary-General at the time, Khofi Annan, put the death toll at least 115,000 people dead. Germany sent military aircraft that functioned as emergency clinics to the affected areas. The German Military Bundeswehr was mobilized to help victims of the disaster. 31 December: Indonesia is declared as the worst tsunami disaster area. The Indonesian government says the death toll will exceed 100,000 people.
3. Flooding in Jakarta and surrounding areas
The nighttime turn of the year is usually lively, with minimal fireworks this time. The rain had indeed stopped near midnight. However, a few minutes after the turn of the year, the rain fell again and continued to flush Jakarta and surrounding areas until the next day. At 08.45, Head of the BNPB Information Data Center, Agus Wibowo informed journalists that there were at least 23 flooding points in Bekasi, two points in Bogor, and 17 points in DKI Jakarta. Still, in the same information, it is known that floods began to enter the residential areas since 02.45 with varying heights ranging from 25 to 50 centimeters. From the latest data compiled by BNPB as of 4 January 2020, this time the floods submerged 308 villages with a maximum water level reaching six meters. While the death toll reached 60 people, with a total of 92,621 refugees scattered in 189 refugee points. Such a large flood is not new in Jakarta. Before this, there were at least five major floods in the history of DKI Jakarta, namely in 2002, 2007, 2013, and 2014.
That's all for me.
