With the identification of the Cugenang Fault, the BMKG said the 1,800 homes in several villages where the structure intersects would have to be relocated. [94] The BMKG prohibited the reconstruction of homes along the fault due to the present seismic hazard it poses. [95] By 27 April 2023, 351 houses had been reconstructed. [96]
According to BMKG, this earthquake was a foreshock to the M w 6.9 earthquake. [23] Despite the earthquake, no increase in activity was recorded for the nearby volcanoes of Rinjani and Agung. [24] At certain areas in the northwestern parts of the island, the earthquake caused the ground to rise by as much as 25 centimetres (9.8 in). [25]
The Indonesian Agency for Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics (BMKG) confirmed that a tsunami had been triggered, with its height reaching an estimated maximum of 4 to 7 metres (13 to 23 ft), striking the settlements of Palu, Donggala and Mamuju along its path. [15] The earthquake caused major soil liquefaction in areas in and around Palu. [16]

This is an incomplete list of more recent recorded major earthquakes that have occurred within the boundaries of Indonesia.The determinants of the activity are indicated by the geology of the region, and the volcanic activity.
An earthquake is the shaking of the surface of Earth resulting from a sudden release of energy in the lithosphere that creates seismic waves.Earthquakes may also be referred to as quakes, tremors, or temblors.
Aside of this structure, BMKG maintained 181 meteorological, climatological, and geophysical stations which its operations and management performed by 5 regional Indonesian Institutes for Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysics (Indonesian: Balai Besar Meteorologi, Klimatologi, dan Geofisika, abbreviated BBMKG) responsible.
The 2016 Aceh earthquake (Indonesian: Gempa Aceh 2016) struck the Indonesian island of Sumatra with a M w of 6.5 in Aceh province on 7 December 2016, at 05:03 WIB (22:03 UTC 6 December 2016). The shock was reported to be at a depth of 13 km, categorized as a strong, shallow earthquake.
