The National Disaster Management Agency (BNPB) recorded that Central Java experienced the highest number of natural disasters from 2016-2020, reaching 3,693 incidents. This was followed by East Java (2,319 incidents), West Java (2,282 incidents), Aceh (776 incidents), and South Sulawesi (498 incidents).

Central Java's leading position is due to its significant potential for natural disasters. One reason is that the province is traversed by the Kendeng Fault. The Kendeng Fault has moved in previous years, increasing the risk of earthquakes.

Furthermore, the convergence of two tectonic plates in southern Central Java can cause earthquakes and tsunamis. The North Coast of Central Java is a flood-prone area, while the central part of the province is susceptible to landslides.
