Towards real-time earthquake impact alerting in Indonesia

The Government of Indonesia has committed to deploying a network of 500 strong-motion sensors throughout the nation. The data from these sensors have the potential to provide critical near-real-time information on the level of ground shaking and potential impact from Indonesian earthquakes near communities. We describe the implementation of real-time ‘ShakeMaps’ within Indonesia's Agency of Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics (BMKG). These ShakeMaps are intended to underpin real-time earthquake situational awareness tools.


The use of the new strong-motion network is demonstrated for two recent earthquakes in northern Sumatra: the 2 July 2013 Mw 6.1 Bener Meriah, Sumatra and the 10 October 2013 Mw 5.4 Aceh Besar earthquakes. The former earthquake resulted in 35 fatalities, with a further 2400 reported injuries. The recently integrated ShakeMap system automatically generated shaking estimates calibrated by BMKG's strong-motion network within 7 min of the Bener Meriah earthquake's origin, which assisted the emergency response efforts. Recorded ground motions are generally consistent with theoretical models. However, more analysis is required to fully characterize the attenuation of strong ground motion in Indonesia.
