A powerful 7.7-magnitude earthquake has struck off Indonesia’s Flores Island, killing people, damaging buildings and triggering a tsunami warning that was later lifted. DW’s Anthony Howard speaks to reporter Kenya Winanti about the latest developments on the ground, and to earthquake and tsunami researcher Nuraini Rahma Hanifa about why Indonesia is so vulnerable to major earthquakes. They examine recent powerful quakes around the Pacific Rim—from Indonesia and Japan to the Philippines and western Colombia—and explain the tectonic forces behind them, tsunami risks, and how communities can prepare for further aftershocks.
