When an earthquake measuring 7.8 on the Richter scale struck the west coast of
Sumatra on Wednesday night, March 2016, thousands of residents of Sikakap district,
Mentawai Island, rushed to nearby hills. Everyone, including children and the elderly, had to
stay there all night. Having learned from a devastating tsunami in 2010 and previous drills
organized by the authorities, the residents took the prepared paths to higher ground located
a kilometer from North Pagai beach. Fortunately, the tremblor, slightly more intense but
further from the islands than that of 2010, caused no damage or loss of life.
However, fear remained after the residents arrived at the hill as no shelter or
telecommunication facilities to call for assistance were available. Further, the shelters that
had been readied after the 2010 tsunami were unusable.
Mentawai islands Disaster Management Agent lamented the lack of communication
facilities. She said when the earthquake occurred, she was on a boat heading to Padang, and
her phone was functioning but she couldn’t reach anyone on site. Several other facilities,
including tsunami-warning sirens were also out. Given the fact that Indonesia is the world’s
largest archipelago, it is prone to seismic upheaval because of its location on the Pacific as
the “Ring of Fire”, an arc of volcanoes and fault lines circling the Pacific Basin.
A local rights activist with the Alliance of Indigenous People (AMAN) said the
earthquake should be a wake-up call for the central government and local authorities to
better equip tsunami-prone areas. Meanwhile, the government praised the preparedness of
local residents. “What’s important is how people respond immediately by leaving houses and
buildings to seek higher ground. And all of that was put into practice last night by the
people in Mentawai Islands”. The risk of tsunamis is still an endemic in the archipelago, said
the government officer. Hence, to increase the budget for tsunami-mitigation efforts is
urgent.
