5 Understanding Tsunami One You Need Correction

Ten years have passed since the deadly tsunami disaster in Aceh on December 26, 2004. How heartbreaking incident when it teach you about the earthquake and tsunami preparedness?

The moment a decade tsunami on Friday (12/26/2014) Today is the right time to increase knowledge on two geological disasters, it is time to correct some of the thinking that is not quite right about it. Anything?

The quake was felt hard not cause a tsunami

Wrong. The quake was felt hard not necessarily not cause a tsunami. Conversely, not necessarily also feels hard earthquake certainly cause a tsunami.

For example, the earthquake in Simeulue, Aceh, on April 15, 2012. An earthquake with a magnitude twins occur quite large, 8.5 and 8.1. However, a small tsunami generated.

Revealed, the earthquake was not sourced from the subduction zone (meeting plate). The quake was also shallow and more oblique fracture movement mechanism.

Meanwhile, examples of the earthquake that was felt hard but cause a tsunami was Pangandaran earthquake in 2006 and the Mentawai earthquake in 2010.

Tectonic experts from the Institute of Technology Bandung (ITB), Irwan Meilano, revealed that the earthquake in Pangandaran and Mentawai including "tsunami earthquake" or "slow earthquakes".

"Tsunami earthquake" occurs when a shallow earthquake center, adjacent to the trough, and close to the mainland.

Region in the zone usually has a high rigidity and rich sediments. Did not feel the earthquake but it can be high tsunami.

 

Early warning instrument is very important to know the "tsunami earthquakes". This earthquake is difficult to guess just by sense.

Only the Indonesian islands of the Pacific and Indian Facing the tsunami-prone

Indeed, the islands are not facing directly into the Pacific and the Indian had a lower risk affected by the tsunami. However, it is not entirely true.

Irwan study found that activity in subduction zones in the western part of Sulawesi never produced a tsunami that reached the area of Balikpapan, East Kalimantan.

Mr. Widjo Kongko Predictions experts, with a magnitude 8.1 earthquake, North Sulawesi, Maluku, and the surrounding potentially hit by the tsunami with a height of 5 meters.

Borneo earthquake and tsunami risk free

Wrong. Has not been much research on the potential earthquake in Borneo so unclear also whether the island is free from the threat of earthquakes.

One also said that the province is free from the threat of a tsunami. Study researchers tsunami Agency for the Assessment and Application of Technology (BPPT), Mr. Widjo Kongko, show it.

Mr. Widjo said, according to a study in 2010, double subduction activity between North Sulawesi and Maluku potential magnitude 8.1 earthquake.

The earthquake was predicted to cause a tsunami. Not only Sulawesi and Maluku who will be affected, but also Borneo.

Kalimantan are potentially affected by the tsunami, among others, the East Kutai, Berau, Nunukan and Bulungan.

Medium-scale tsunami could hit 2-2.5 hours after the earthquake. Height of 0.5 to 1 meter in shallow waters and reach 2 times as much on the beach.

Severe effects of the tsunami could remember the coastal region of Borneo is the lifeblood of the economy. In addition, preparedness is still minimal.

Of the 4,500 km long coast tsunami hazard only 38 sirens tsunami of 1000 siren needs. Evacuation Shelter there are only 50 units from 2,500 units needs.

Double subduction between North Sulawesi and Maluku itself has high seismic activity. In the span of 1600 - 2007, there were 2,800 earthquakes and 10 tsunami.

Distance tsunami next one and certainly hundreds of years

Not exactly. Tsunami are sourced from the same subduction possible within hundreds of years. However, it could be a city affected by the tsunami many times in a matter of years.

The city of Sendai in Japan several times affected by the tsunami in the short time lag. Resulting tsunami earthquake source is different.

Western region of Sumatra has many sources of seismic sea. Thus, a town in the region affected by the tsunami could also many times.

Although a large tsunami affected Aceh ever in 2004, does not mean that the new city of Mecca could porch tsunami affected hundreds of years later.

Aceh together Padang and Mentawai tsunami could have been affected by the earthquake from different sources. So, should remain vigilant.

Sea dike can certainly protect themselves from the tsunami

Wrong. In general, it can be said. But, as well as technology in general, there remains a limitation.

Sea dike has limitations on height and strength. When the tsunami wave height is low, it can protect the sea dike.

Case 9 magnitude earthquake on March 11, 2011 in Japan is evidence that sea dike can not protect 100 percent. Wave height is higher than the sea dike.

This is the importance of spatial planning and choosing residential area relatively far from the sea.

10 Years of Tsunami

A number of activities will take place in Aceh, starting December 25, 2014 until December 28, 2014, to commemorate 10 years of the tsunami. Vice President Jusuf Kalla has been there to follow this warning. "Definitely a lot of things changed as the spirit, facilities, buildings, and so much had changed. But most of the people to keep the spirit," said Kalla, in Banda Aceh, Nanggroe Aceh Darussalam, Thursday (12/25/2014).

On Thursday night, a warning will be held in Aceh such a remembrance. Then, on Friday (12/26/2014), exactly 10 years after the tsunami, a ceremony is performed. Among the dead were hundreds of tourists who were enjoying the Christmas holiday in the coastal regions with tropical sun shining on it, causing worldwide disaster.

Approximately 7,000 Muslim religious leaders, survivors and rescue workers, gather and pray on Thursday night, at page Baiturrahman Grand Mosque in Banda Aceh, which became "eyewitnesses" big disaster. Malaysian cleric, Sheikh Ismail Kassim, said he and several hundred people colleague follow this remembrance to show their dukugan to Aceh. "We hope the people of Aceh did not waver despite this unfortunate," said Kassim. Governor of Aceh, Zaini Abdullah thanked the participants of remembrance, both from Indonesia and abroad, upon their arrival to this mosque.

The 10th anniversary of the tsunami disaster also presents exhibitions, creative arts, and photos. The theme of the exhibition is the Reconstruction and Disaster Risk Reduction. There will also be evening Aceh Art / Appreciation Night, and marathon Run ID / Tsunami 10 K. Representatives from 34 countries will attend this memorial. Government leaders who will be present, among others, the Prime Minister of Singapore and the Prime Minister of Malaysia. Will present were representatives from a variety of bilateral and multilateral institutions.

Tsunami occurred on December 26, 2004, triggered by an earthquake measuring 9.3 on the Richter scale earthquake center was 3.3 degrees North latitude and 95.98 longitude. The impact of this earthquake stretched for more than 1,200 kilometers, from Aceh to Andaman. Based on data from the Regional Government of Aceh, the tsunami caused 126,741 deaths, 93 285 people missing, 500,000 people homeless, and more than 750,000 people lost their jobs.

Today is exactly 10 years in the province of Aceh tsunami warning. Weather in Banda Aceh and the surrounding thin overcast. Morning, Friday (26/12), Vice President Jusuf Kalla did sow flowers in Mass Grave Siron, Banda Aceh. The event begins with a prayer together without speech and the speech of officials who come. The atmosphere is so calm and serene events accompany the prayer for the victims of the tsunami.

Kalla came together Mufidah Kalla was accompanied by the governor of Aceh Zaini Abdullah and Niazah Zaini Abdullah. The event was followed in Blang Padang from 09.00 until 10.45. In this place, the 10th anniversary of the tsunami carried in procession official ceremony. Some events in this field include views flashback events earthquake and tsunami in Aceh.

The committee planned to give the award to 35 representatives of donor countries, showing videos and rekknstruksi rehabilitation of Aceh, and welcome Jusuf Kalla.

Vice President then review the Disaster Exhibition and see the museum tsunami Aceh. Today also Kalla attended the launch of the book 10 years of tsunami around 15:30. The book titled Waves of Peace; Initiative and the role of JK Reconciling Aceh written Fenty Effendy.

This disaster generate solidarity and empathy to fellow country boy. Along with the completion of the emergency response, rehabilitation, and reconstruction of Aceh, also reached a peace agreement between Indonesia and the Free Aceh Movement. The agreement was reached less than a tsunami that is August 15, 2005 in Helsinki, Finland.

Floating Ship Diesel Miracle Tsunami (PLTD Apung)

This is a big wreck that sank in the middle of the village near Ulee Lheue. Its presence reminded how powerful tsunami in Aceh on 26 December 2004. The disaster was preceded earthquake measuring 8.9 on the Richter scale followed by the coming flood of unexpected so mengakibatnya hundreds of thousands of lives and slammed stretchable Banda Aceh community life.You can see these wrecks in Kampung Punge Blang Cut, District Jaya Baru, Banda Aceh. Most of the houses when it runs out of water swept the sea when the tsunami hit and now has beganti with new buildings.

Shipwreck Diesel Power (diesel) Floating I, which has a deadweight of about 2,600 tons, a length of 19 meters, and a width of 9 meters have been pushed to the mainland as far as 2 km from the Port Uleelheue. This ship is owned National Electricity Company (PLN) who came to Aceh in 2003 to meet the demand for electricity in Banda Aceh then by sea. Previously, ships with a capacity of 10 megawatts of electricity generators are anchored in various places, and last served in West Kalimantan. With electrical power of 10.5 MW generated no wonder this ship very important role for the people of Aceh.

This ship was made in Batam 1996, used in London in 1997, Overcoming electricity crisis Bali for submarine cables disconnected in 1999, overcoming the problem of electricity in Madura in 2000 and returned to Pontianak again in 2001 and then moved to the port of Ulee Lheue Banda Aceh in July 2003.

You can imagine how this ship dragged tsunami. How kalutnya people at the sight of the large size of this ship dragged to the mainland. However, more frightening is how big, strong and high waves that carry this great ship sank in the middle to the mainland.

The ship had previously been in position 3 km from the port and then brought ashore to wreck in the middle of the village. When the tsunami hit on his boat there are 11 crew members but only one of the 11 crew members survived. 1 crew who survived due to remain on board when the barge was brought waves to the mainland. When the water receded, another crew got off the ship and the only one that did not go down. Well, when the sea water began to rise again, 10 crew actually exposed to flood the tsunami, while only 1 crew were still aboard the lucky one who survived.

At this point you are not only able to see the ship from the bottom but can roam up to 3 floors. For on board, you can go through an iron staircase in the hull.

Not far from these wrecks you can stroll to the Tsunami Education Park. The very beautiful garden with mature trees in all its parts. The walkways are constructed winding make the garden look beautiful. You also can browse pictures of the tsunami on display near the park.

To achieve shipwreck Diesel Power (diesel) Floating I then you will enter the village road about 300 meters. The road is not too wide but is paved smooth. Its location in the village of Punge Blang Cut, District Jaya Baru, Banda Aceh. This tourist location only 1 km from the center of Banda Aceh, and you can rent a motor rickshaw with corresponding prices.

The Concept of Aceh Tsunami Museum

Tsunami Museum has 6 concept in its development. Among these concepts are as follows:

1. Rumoh Aceh

Design Museum Tsunami took the basic idea of the home stage of Aceh as an example of the architecture of past wisdom in responding to the challenges and natural disasters. This design refers to the state of Aceh in the past which has also been hit by the disaster. This concept reflects the beliefs of religion and adaptation to nature.

2. Escape Building

Design Museum Tsunami rescue shaped hill in anticipation of the tsunami hazard in the future.

3. Sea Waves

Plan of building an analogy from the epicenter of an ocean wave as a reminder of the tsunami.

4. Saman Dance (Hablumminannas)

Acehnese dance that symbolizes unity and cooperation of the Acehnese, reflecting a strong social life will be of mutual help and mutual help, reflected through the exterior skin of the building on Aceh Tsunami Museum.

5. The Light of God (hablumminallah)

Inside the building there is a space Tsunami Museum is a well-shaped cylinder that shined light up as a symbol of man's relationship with God.

6. Public Park

Tsunami Museum is also an open public park that can be accessed and enabled at any time

by the community, as a response to the urban context.

Exploring the Tsunami Museum

Tsunami Museum is a museum recalls the devastating events that have ever hit Aceh on December 26, 2004, which killed more than 240,000 people. The museum is located at Jalan Sultan Iskandar Muda near Simpang Jam and opposite the Blang Padang city of Banda Aceh. The museum building is said to be designed by an architecture professor ITB, M. Ridwan Kamil. Design titled Escape Hill Rumoh Aceh as it took the basic idea rumoh Aceh is the traditional home of the Acehnese as building houses on stilts. The purpose of the construction of the museum is not just a building monument, but also as an object of history, where this building became a center for research and learning about the tsunami disaster in Aceh community as a symbol of strength in the face of the tsunami disaster. In addition, the building is expected to be a legacy for

future generations of Aceh as a message and a lesson that never hit Aceh tsunami that has claimed many victims. The construction of this museum has cost 140 billion dollars.

The museum building consists of 4 levels with islamic ornament decoration. Can be seen from the outside of the building is shaped like a ship, with a flare mencu standing upright on it. Outstanding exterior appearance that expresses the cultural diversity of Aceh looks of decorative ornament element of transparency outer skin of the building elements. This ornament symbolizes saman dance as a reflection Hablumminannas, namely the concept of human relationships in Islam.

On the ground floor there is a museum open space that can be used as a public space. The floor is made to rise which aims as escape hill, a hill-shaped garden can be used as a location anticipation rescue in case of floods and the tsunami disaster in the future. Each floor (measuring 25 meters x 20 meters) can accommodate thousands of people in an emergency.

Upon entering the building, which will be visited first room visitors are space afterthought. In this room there is a narrow hallway and lit at the same time be able to listen to the sound of water flowing along with the call to prayer. On the left and right walls of the hallway there is flowing water which is like the roar tsunami that happened in the past.

After passing through the room reflections, museum visitors will enter a room filled memorial hill which is equipped with a monitor that can be used to access information about the tsunami that hit Aceh on 26 December 2004.

After the memorial hall hill, visitors will enter the space The Light of God, which is a well-shaped chamber cylinder dim yellowish light shined. At the height of the room look GOD written form of Arabic calligraphy in a circle. On the walls of this room filled with writing the names of tsunami victims who died in the big event. The building that resembles this tower contains religious values are a reflection of hablumminallah (ie the concept of man's relationship with God). This room also gives access to the second level of the museum building tsunami.

While on the second floor is a space-space access to multimedia such as audio space and a 4-dimensional space, showrooms tsunamis (tsunami exhibition room), space pre-tsunami, while stunami, and post-tsunami.

On the 3rd floor Tsunami Museum, there are several facilities such as geological space, library, Musalla, and souvenirs. In geological space, visitors can obtain information on the disaster, how the earthquake and tsunami, through the explanation of some displays and simulation tools contained in the room.

At the end of the building Tsunami Museum, functioned as an escape building or escape when a tsunami occurs again in the future. Roof level is not open to the public for considering the concept of safety and security. From this roof level, almost the entire area of the city of Banda Aceh can be seen from the top of the building.

Aceh Tsunami Museum

Aceh Tsunami Museum: Inscriptions Speaking of What We Call 'Love' on the Waves Together they rolled.

Design and construction of the Museum of Aceh with the concept of 'Rumoh Aceh Escape Building as' having diverse philosophies. On the ground floor of this museum tells how a tsunami occurs through a uniquely designed architecture. In each room has its own philosophy that describes a picture of the tsunami as a memorial of the great disaster that hit Aceh on December 26, 2004 which claimed the lives in large enough quantities to approximately 240,000 inhabitants. Following the philosophy of design ground floor Tsunami Museum.

1. Space of Fear (Lorong Tsunami)

Tsunami early access aisle is a visitor to enter the Tsunami Museum. It has a length of 30 m and a height of 19-23 m high tsunami waves symbolizing that occurred in the year 2004. Water flows on both sides of the walls of the museum, the roar of the water, the light is dim and dark, narrow hallway and humid, described the fear of the people of Aceh after the tsunami occurred, or the so-called space of fear.

2. Space of Memory (Memory Space)

After a walk through the hallways Tsunami, visitors will enter the room Memories (Memorial Hall). This room has 26 monitors as a symbol of the tsunami that hit Aceh there December 26, 2004. Each monitor displays an image and a photo of the person and the location of the disaster that hit Aceh after the tsunami of 40 images that are displayed in the form of a slide. Images and photos seemed to recall the memories of the tsunami that hit Aceh or the so-called space of memory that is not easy to be forgotten and the lessons learned from the incident.

A room with a glass wall has a philosophy of existence in the sea (tsunami). Upon entering this room, as if the visitors were in the middle of the sea, symbolized by glass walls that illustrate the breadth of the ocean floor, the monitors in the room which is denoted as the rocks in the water, and the lights are dim exist in roof space is represented as a light from above the water surface into the seabed.

3. Space of Sorrow (the Well Prayer Room)

  Through Space Memories (Memorial Hall), visitors will enter the Well Prayer Room (Chamber of Blessing). A cylindrical drum with a dim light and a height of 30 meters has approximately 2,000 names listed each victim tsunami walls. This room difilosofikan as mass graves of tsunami and visitor who enters this ruanga encouraged to pray for the victims according to the religion and beliefs of each.

This room also describes the relationship of man with God (hablumminallah) are denoted by the calligraphy of God contained in the chimney with a light pointing up and chanting verses of the Qur'an. This symbolizes that every human being must be returned to God (the creator).

4. Space of Confuse (Lorong Chimney)

After the wells Prayer, visitors will pass through the hallway Stack (Chimney Romp) towards the Bridge of Hope. The hallway is intentionally designed with floor and uneven bekelok philosophy as a form of confusion and despair when the people of Aceh suffered the tsunami in 2004, the confusion will be the direction of the goal, frantically looking for missing relatives, and confusion due to loss of property and objects, the philosophy this hall is called Space of Confuse. Dark alley that takes visitors to the natural light symbolizes a hope that the people of Aceh at the time was still thinking about the expectations of the world aid for Aceh to help restore physical and psychological condition of the people of Aceh who at the time of trauma and disaster after a big loss.

5. Space of Hope (Bridge of Hope)

Hallways chimney takes visitors toward the Bridge of Hope (space of hope).

On each stone bearing the flag and the word 'Peace' in the language of each country as a reflection of war and peace in Aceh before the tsunami conflict. With the earthquake and tsunami, the world saw firsthand the conditions in the province, support and assist the peace in Aceh, as well as contributing to the building (reconstructed) of Aceh after the disaster.
