Quake info demanded

From Suara Karya

Houses in Pandeglang, Banten, cracked when a powerful earthquake rocked Jakarta and its surrounding areas on Oct. 25. The tremor reportedly could be felt as far as Singapore.

I was surprised and at the same time curious as to what would happen if a more powerful earthquake rocked the city? Obviously, everything would be in a mess.

So, the National Earthquake Center of the Meteorological and Geophysical Agency (BMG) should again actively inform the community of anything related to earthquake matters. The community needs to be told about why an earthquake happens and whether it can be predicted or not. In this way, the community can act properly should an earthquake again hit us.
