Indonesia is a country prone to geological disasters, particularly earthquakes. This is because Indonesia is located at the interaction point of four tectonic plates, which are the source of earthquakes.

According to data from the Central Bureau of Statistics (BPS), there were 10,519 earthquakes in Indonesia throughout 2021. This number increased by 25.7% compared to the previous year, which recorded 8,368 earthquakes.

The highest increase in earthquake occurrences in 2021 was on Sulawesi Island, with 925 earthquakes. Furthermore, 80.93% of earthquakes in Indonesia were classified as minor (less than 40 SR).

Damaging earthquakes in 2021 began with an earthquake in Morowali, Central Sulawesi Province on January 4, 2021, and ended with an earthquake in Southwest Maluku, Maluku Province on December 30, 2021.

These damaging earthquakes resulted in 119 fatalities and 6,803 injuries.
