In plain language

A magnitude 5.5 earthquake occurred in Indonesia on September 21, 2026, at a shallow depth of 10 kilometers. Although many people live in the area, this is currently rated as a moderate event with a green severity level.

What is a earthquake? Earthquakes happen when large pieces of Earth's crust, called tectonic plates, suddenly slip past each other. This movement releases energy in waves that travel through the ground, making it shake. Most occur along fault lines where plates get stuck and then suddenly break free under intense pressure.

If you feel shaking, Drop, Cover, and Hold On under a sturdy table until the movement stops to protect yourself from falling objects.
