West Sumatra and Jambi Natural Disasters: Damage, Loss and Preliminary Needs Assessment
The two consecutive earthquakes that hit the provinces of West Sumatra and Jambi on 30 September and 1 October caused widespread damage across both provinces, killing over 1,100 people, injuring about 3,000, destroying livelihoods, and disrupting economic activity and social conditions. Resulting landslides in West Sumatra left scores of houses and several villages buried, disrupting power and communications for days. The first of these events was felt across Sumatra and Java in Indonesia, and in neighboring Malaysia, Singapore and Thailand.
These earthquakes are the latest in a series of disasters that have struck Indonesia this year. The Government is managing on-going disaster recovery, reconstruction and rehabilitation efforts across the country, including in Papua and West Java. The Damage and Loss Assessment and Human Recovery Needs Analysis outlined in this report serve to remind us of the hazards that Indonesia faces and help to give an accurate picture of the damage sustained and the needs of those living in the affected regions.
