        "summary": "Following a 7.6 magnitude earthquake that triggered an early tsunami warning in North Maluku and North Sulawesi, Indonesia's National Search and Rescue Agency (Basarnas) has mobilised full personnel from three SAR offices in Sulawesi Utara, Maluku, and Palu to conduct rapid assessments and ensure public safety. The response involves coordination with the military, police, local disaster agencies, and other SAR potentials, with one fatality reported and another person under treatment. This integrated effort, supported by real-time information from BMKG and BNPB, underscores the importance of swift disaster management to mitigate further risks in affected coastal areas where tsunami waves up to 0.75 metres were detected.",
