earthquake

Based on information below, we must always prepare on the upcoming earthquakes since Indonesia is located on the ring of fire in the Pacific Ocean chain of islands has the world’s deadliest and most destructive volcanoes. Indonesia’s 1,171 dated eruptions have produced the highest number of fatalities, damage to arable land, mudflows, tsunamis, domes and pyroclastic flows, fast moving currents of hot gas and molten rock.


When buildings collapse, the weight of the ceilings falling often crushes objects leaving a space or void beside them. The triangle is the most common shape in a collapsed building. In an earthquake, get next to a large, bulky object that will compress slightly, but leave a void next to it.

Ketika bangunan-bangunan runtuh, berat dari langit-langit yang jatuh seringkali menimpa/meremukan barang-barang tetapi membuat ruang atau celah di sampingnya. Bentuk segitiga merupakan bentuk yang paling umum pada sebuah bangunan yang runtuh. Pada saat gempa terjadi, kita perlu langsung menuju tempat di samping benda yang besar, yang jika tertimpa langit-langit hanya "rusak" sedikit, sehingga dapat memberikan ruang atau celah di sampingnya (untuk kita berlindung).

If you are caught in a building during an earthquake and cannot get out, simply lie down and curl up in a fetal position next to a bulky object.

Jika Anda terjbak dalam suatu bangunan selama gempa bumi dan tidak dapat keluar, maka Anda dapat berbaring dan meringkuk di sebelah benda yang besar.

If awakened during an earthquake simply roll of the bed and lie beside the bed.

Jika Anda terbangun dari tidur karena gempa, maka Anda dapat langsung turun dari tempat tidur dan berbaring di sebelah tempat tidur tersebut.

Hiding under doorways is a frequent cause of death in earthquake-damaged buildings, according to disaster reports.

Berlindung dalam lorong sering merupakan penyebab kematian dalam bangunan yang rusak/runtuh akibat gempa bumi, hal ini berdasarkan laporan-laporan bencana yang ada.

It is AGI’s advice that evacuation of a building during an earthquake is not only dangerous it also makes no sense as earthquakes usually last only up to a minute which is insufficient time to evacuate especially from a high rise building.

Nasihat dari AGI bahwa melakukan evakuasi dari suatu bangunan selama gempa berlangsung adalah hal yang tidak saja berbahaya tetapi juga tidak masuk akal karena gempa bumi biasanya hanya berlangsung sampai satu menit saja, yang mana tidak cukup waktu untuk melakukan evakuasi, khususnya pada gedung yang tinggi.
