 * //__ The Earth Movements __//**

 In Indonesia there are a lot of earth movements. There are earthquakes, volcanoes and tsunamis. But in this web page (Indonesian Earthquakes) we will be talking about earthquakes only, and maybe little facts about tsunamis and volcanoes. (This is an earthquake that hit Indonesia Jakarta(the city) which it's magnitude is 6.2) (A volcano eruption pops in Indonesia) http://msnbcmedia2.msn.com/

Indonesia is at risk of being affected by earth movements (earthquakes, volcanoes and tsunamis) because:
 * Why is Indonesia at risk of being affected by earth movements? **

1st: there are some places there were the buildings are build with strong equipments that have enough power for making the buildings strong enough for it to stay as good shaped as possible (if an earthquake, volcano or tsunami pop by). but also….. In some places in Indonesia the building are not that strong because maybe in those cities or those buildings don’t have enough money, or they still don’t know about those equipments and stuff that protects you saved from those earth movements. And there is also another problem……

2nd: Indonesia is located in a place where there come a lot of earth movements because it’s close to the sea/river and that can make a tsunami (an earthquake under water) 2nd:Indonesian region is one of the most seismically active zones of the earth; which is not that good because that what makes the earth movements stronger!

__**//How have people in your area been affected by earth movements in the past?//**__

People in your area have been affected by earth movements in the past, by the fact that they were very sad. One reason that they were sad is because lots of people died. The second reason is that many people lost their homes in these earthquakes.

(this is a girl that was in an earthquake) http://scrapetv.com That’s a good question! First of all, the governments and people in the country can help always, but to help you well need some thinking for preparing to help people and even yourself for earthquakes, volcanoes, tsunamis and much more earth movements like tornadoes. But now I will tell you about the steps:
 * //__ What steps can people/governments take to help prepare for and protect their area from earth movements in their area? __//**

1st: a lot of governments in the world may help their countries by announcing to them: “get ready for an earthquake!” (If they know there’s going to be one) but if it’s too late, then there is for sure a lot more stuff to be protected by earthquakes and other earth movements.

2nd: also governments and people can protect their selves by moving or finding a safe place to be until the earthquake or another earth movement is done, but if you can’t go nowhere then read the safety tips for some more help by staying wherever you are or live (like your home)

3rd: If you think or you know that you are in a active zone for earthquakes and other earth movements you can prepare by reading the safety tips, so that you well know what to do with each subject of stuff.

4th did you hear about the earthquake in Haiti? If yes then they had a lot of help, because almost or even all the world helped them! So governments can help again by bringing money and sending, but it’s not only those two (money and sending them food) there’s so much more!

__** What should people do in case they experience an earth movement in their area? **__ Before you start reading this, get a paper and something to write with so t hat you well no what to do with almost all the stuff when there’s an earth movement in your area.

1st: Make sure your family has safety kits, so that they can use if need. 2nd: have a f flashlight, a pair of shoes and tie something under each bed in your house so that when an earthquake comes the stuff won’t fall out. (and maybe all those stuff you can put in your safety kit).
 * You’re Household**:

3rd: plan with your household where to meet if an earthquake or tsunami ruins so that you and your family will be safe. 4th: Teach each of your house members how to use a fire extinguisher or other equipments that may help or even well help when an earthquake comes. 1st: move mirrors or other breakable stuff, so if an earthquake or another dangerous earth movement comes it won’t break it and get you hurt. 2nd: take off all the pictures from the wall, so it won’t fall or break. (maybe it’s too expensive so you would want to take the pictures off) 3rd: move beds from windows, it’s also dangerous because the window might fall or the window might break, in your face when you sleep, and that is really **ouch!** 4th: be sure that your house number is visible in your house door so if a emergency vehicle stops there it well help you.
 * Home Safety ** :
 * Children:**

1st: teach your children what to say when they dial 9-9-1 (if there's any emergency) 2nd: teach your children what to do if a parent is suddenly sick or if he/she gets injured badly.

3rd: make your child an emergency card so if he gets lost or something happens to him people well help him, in the card/s you well have to write their full name, their last name, your house address, parents/guardian work phone number and parents/guardians mobile phone.

4th:know the school police/guards, so that if there's an emergency( an earth movement) then they could take them home or keep them safe until it stops.


 * Pets:**

1st: prepare an emergency bag for your dog so that you well have extra stuff for your pet, like: water bowl, food bowl, collar, string(*to tie in the collar),if your animal needs a bed then get him one, some packs or boxes of animal food and if you would like your animal to play then bring him some toys, don't just let him free because maybe the earthquake or another earth movement will appear at that time.
