Abstract
| |
| The two consecutive earthquakes that hit the provinces of West Sumatra and Jambi on 30 September and 1 October caused widespread damage across the provinces killing over 1,100 people, destroying livelihoods and disrupting economic activity and social conditions. Resulting landslides left scores of houses and villages buried, whilst disrupting power and communication for days. The first of these events was felt throughout Sumatra and Java, in Indonesia, and in neighboring Malaysia, Singapore and Thailand. The Government of Indonesia responded immediately by declaring a one-month emergency phase, providing emergency relief funds with a promise of more to follow, and indicating that it welcomed international assistance. In addition, tents, blankets, food, medical personnel, emergency clean water facilities and toilets were provided during the immediate response. The armed forces were also engaged in search and rescue operations and delivering relief aid. National partners, including the Indonesian Red Cross, engaged immediately in emergency response efforts. This report describes the human loss, assessment of the damage to physical assets, the subsequent losses sustained across all economic activities, and the impact of the disaster on the provincial and national economies. It also provides the baseline data against which recovery and reconstruction plans can be designed, and progress can be monitored. |
