East Java Siaga Gempa 8.8 Richter scales

East Java Governor Soekarwo asked in all the regency/the city in East Java did alert the disaster through early warning system or the early-warning system. Because according to the researcher from the Agency of Ilmu Pengetahuan Indonesia (LIPI), East Java the southern part had the potential for the earthquake because was in the Indonesian ocean fracture.

“I asked for all the regency/the city in East Java, especially in the south territory in order to carry out anticipation of the earthquake through the early-warning system. The anticipation could be carried out by preparing the community carried out steps in the emergency if happening The earthquake,” said Soekarwo on Monday October 5 2009.

Related that, dibeberapa the area in East Java has done that. For example in Lumajang, especially the area of the south East Java coast.

The early-warning system must not take the form of the sophisticated implement. “Masyarakat could be trained used kentongan as the early-warning system. So that they know that to have the earthquake danger and to have to immediately flee.

More far was said, the south East Java coast and Bali entered the potential zone of the earthquake danger the tsunami. Because in the south East Java territory was gotten by the long fracture beginning with Sumatra. Moreover one of the experts in geology from LIPI, Danny Hilman Natawidjaja, said that the occurrence of the earthquake in Aceh and North Sumatra on December 26 2004, the Jogyakarta earthquake on May 27 2006 and the Padang Earthquake that happened to 30 Septenber 2009 yesterday, triggered the fracture in the Indonesian ocean.

The existence of the fracture will it was estimated happen the horrifying earthquake had the force of more than 8 Richter scales that were potential the Tsunami. The prediction was justified, from the research of Prof Kerry Sieh from Nanyang Technology University (NTU) Singapore, had the earthquake note and the fracture that happened in south Java for 12 years. If the pressure towards the fracture was increasingly high, so triggered the earthquake that reached 8.8 SR.
