View all search resultsLast year, Indonesia recorded 9,384 disasters, including earthquakes, tsunamis, floods, land liquefaction and landslides, which left 684 people dead. This year, as of Sept. 3, the National Disaster Mitigation Agency (BNPB) had recorded 1,944 disasters killing 272 people.

The National Disaster Mitigation Agency (BNPB) urged the public to remain cautious, adding that several mitigation measures could be taken in the case of a potential tsunami-triggering earthquake, such as the 20-20-20 principle.
