                Indonesia is located between Australian, Eurasian and Pasific plates. Beside that, Indonesia is included in Pasific fire ring. It makes Indonesia often experiences earthquakes, both tectonic and volcanic. Earthquake has some effects on the society.

                First, earthquake causes the loss of property. High intensity earthquake can cause the destruction of building in areas that sustain the effects of the earthquake. Either public infrastructure or private buildings will be destroyed. It makes people suffer a lot of material loss. Besides that, rebuilding the destroyed buildings will spend a lot of time and money.

                Second, earthquake causes the loss of family and relatives. During the earthquake, people run frantically to save themselves. They do not have time to bring along all of their family and prefer to save themselves. Many people die from being buried in the ruins of buildings and being trampled by others. However, finding the lost family and relatives requires a lot of time.

                At last, earthquake causes prolonged trauma to the society. People who experienced an earthquake will be panicked when they feel even the slightest shake. Especially those who live in the coastal and mountainous area, because the effect will be worse than the other area. After all, curing people’s trauma needs a lot of time.

                In the conclusion, earthquake has some impacts on the society such as the material loss, the family loss and permanent trauma. To reduce those impacts, the government must give an early warning so the people can save themselves in time.
