ABSTRACT

Habitat’s ResponseThrough its local volunteer network, Habitat’s Yogyakarta affiliate is supporting and helping to co-ordinate local partner organizations in the immediate aftermath. HFH International and national Indonesian staff have joined the local affiliate to conduct a joint assessment of the damage.A Habitat Resource Center for Disaster Response (HRC) will be set up to co-ordinate a long-term response. Through the HRC, Habitat will be able to provide technology for new house construction, support for repairs and renovations, construction management, and technical support for survivors and other aid agencies, and material and logistics support as neededearthquakee.jpg

International Call for ActionHabitat for Humanity’s Global Collaborative Network of HFH national organizations around the world are invited to join HFH Indonesia in providing meaningful and lasting support to the people of Yogyakarta.  HFH Indonesia is appealing for donations for those affected by this devastating earthquake. These funds will be used for the urgent setting up of the Habitat Resource Center(s) to expedite the provision of services needed for the repairs and reconstructions of homes devastated by the earthquake.gempabumi.jpg

DESIGN

Donations to the Indonesian Earthquake Appeal 2006 will support communities affected by the recent Java

earthquake and will be used for the following activities:

— To support the repairs and renovations of houses through the setting up of Habitat Resource Center(s) in

the affected area;

— To fund the deployment of specialist construction and community development workers to assist in this

response; and

— To provide continued support to HFH Indonesia to build disaster response support capacity at the national

level.

TEORITICAL BASIC• According to scientist an earthquake is the shaking of

the ground cause by seismic waves. Almost all earthquakes occur when pent up stress in rocks along large, active faults (like the SAF) is suddenly released as the rock breaks. Like anything that breaks, it makes 'noise' and this noise comes in the form of seismic waves that make the ground tremble, though it is not just sound waves (P waves). Seismic waves propagate through the earth and along its surface. Anything that produces seismic waves is called an 'earthquake'. Landslides and moving magma in volcanoes make earthquakes. Nuclear and chemical explosions also produce seismic waves that can be distinguished from natural earthquakes. In the US, the United States Geological Survey and its affiliated research institutions are responsible for monitoring and studying earthquakes, and helping to mitigate their effects.

CONCLUSION

CONCLUSION

The SAF is the largest earthquake-producing fault in California but it is not the only one. The most active one is the San Jacinto fault.

The region that is seismically most active is Cape Mendocino. Other faults that have or will produce big earthquakes are the

Hayward, Calaveras, Newport-Inglewood, and Owens Valley faults. The 1994 Northridge earthquake occurred on a relatively minor

(and at the time unknown) fault, later called the Northridge blind thrust fault. The quake was notable because it occurred in a

heavily populated area. The much larger 7.3 Landers earthquake in 1992 took place in a sparsely populated area of California and

resulted in relatively little damage.
