Global earthquakes are natural phenomena that occur due to shifts in the Earth’s plates. This phenomenon not only poses a threat to life safety, but can also have a significant impact on a country’s economy and infrastructure. By having a good understanding of earthquakes, people can be better prepared and responsive to face these unexpected emergency situations. Earthquakes occur when energy accumulated in the Earth’s crust is suddenly released. There are two main types of earthquakes: tectonic earthquakes caused by the movement of the Earth’s plates and volcanic earthquakes caused by magma activity. Indonesia, which is on the Pacific Ring of Fire, is one of the marginalized countries that frequently experiences earthquakes. Therefore, increasing awareness and knowledge about earthquakes is a must. Early warning is an important step in dealing with the impact of an earthquake. Today’s modern technology is capable of detecting seismic movements and providing real-time information to the public. This early warning system provides guidance for evacuation and minimizes the risk of injury. Communities also need to be equipped with knowledge about how to act when an earthquake occurs, such as finding safe shelter and avoiding landslide-prone areas. Education about earthquakes should start early, integrated into the school curriculum. In this way, the younger generation will have better knowledge about risks and ways to mitigate disasters. Simulation programs and evacuation drills must be carried out regularly so that residents can practice how to act realistically during an earthquake. Strengthening infrastructure is also important to reduce the impact of earthquakes. Buildings that are well designed and meet earthquake-resistant standards can save many lives. The government needs to encourage development that pays attention to this safety aspect, both in residential and commercial areas. Investment in research into earthquake-resistant technologies should also be encouraged to develop more effective methods. Communities play an important role in disaster mitigation, through the formation of groups of trained volunteers. They can assist in counseling and be at the forefront when a disaster occurs. Apart from that, cooperation between communities in rescue and emergency assistance efforts in earthquake-affected areas is very vital. Information that can be accessed from social media and earthquake monitoring applications allows the public to stay informed and reduce panic. Speed and accuracy of information is critical in emergency situations. Good communication between residents will facilitate more effective rescue efforts. One thing that must be considered is the mental readiness of the community. The uncertainty and fear generated by earthquakes can impact the mental health of residents. Therefore, there is a need for a psychosocial support program to help individuals who experience post-earthquake trauma. Various efforts and innovations in the fields of technology, education and infrastructure can contribute to responding to the global earthquake phenomenon. Synergy between government, society and various institutions will increase regional resilience and capacity in facing disasters. Through a comprehensive and integrated approach, we can have hope of reducing the impact of earthquakes in the future.
