Central Sulawesi earthquake

The Central Sulawesi earthquake, which occurred in Indonesia in January 2021, was a powerful 6.2 magnitude tremor caused by shifting tectonic plates along the fault lines in the region. This seismic activity resulted in severe shaking, leading to damage of buildings, infrastructure, and loss of lives. The earthquake also triggered landslides and tsunamis in some areas, complicating rescue efforts. As a seismically active zone, Central Sulawesi experiences frequent earthquakes, emphasizing the importance of preparedness and resilient infrastructure to mitigate their impact.
