"I hope that following the quake and tsunami hitting Pangandaran beach in Ciamis and other districts in Java island, the leaders of quake-prone regions, including district heads, governors and mayors, whose regions are located within the 'ring of fire' would immediately take steps designed to enhance their alertness," Antara news agency on Tuesday quoted the head of state as saying. "If such disaster happens, at least we are prepared and the number of victims would be minimized," the president said here on Monday. The president made the call after an earthquake measuring 6.8 on the Richter scale struck the southern coast of Java on Monday afternoon. The quake was followed by a tidal wave, killing at least 100 people and leaving hundreds of others missing. The president also reminded that when a quake and tsunami hit Aceh in 2004, some regions in Indonesia had been declared prone to quake or tsunami. More than 160,000 people died in the 2004 tsunami in Indonesia. "The ring of fire is lying across the western part of Sumatra UGG Classic Tall 5815, South Java Ugg Fringe Cardy Boots, Sulawesi toward the Philippines and Papua," he said. It is true we never know when and where such a disaster will strike including the magnitude of the quakes. Therefore readiness, alertness and steps from regional leaders should be made in anticipation of possible quakes," Yudhoyono said. Enditemabout:
