Quake Details
Time: February 12, 2026 at 6:44:18 PM IST

Why Indonesia Vulnerable?
Pacific Ring of Fire: Lies where most volcanoes erupt & earthquakes strike
Tectonic Collision: Pacific, Eurasian, Australian plates converge causing constant seismic activity
Regional Quake Activity
Nepal: Recent 5.0 magnitude
Myanmar: 5.9 quake felt in Kolkata & Dhaka
Indonesia’s location demands constant preparedness for powerful megathrust quakes & tsunamis like devastating 2004 Indian Ocean disaster.
