Tropical Storm SEAN-11 affected 66 thousand people with winds above 39mph (63 km/h) and few people with hurricane wind strengths (74mph or 119 km/h). In addition, few people are living in coastal areas below 5m and can therefore be affected by storm surge.

Natural Disasters

A 6.8-magnitude earthquake struck off the south-west coast of Bali Island on 13 October. It was felt most intensely in the Denpasar area as well as in several other areas in Bali, East Java and Lombok. No fatalities were recorded, although about 90 injuries were reported. A number of buildings including houses, hospitals, schools and temples, were damaged in Denpasar, Gianyar, Bangli, Badung, and Jembrana Districts. The district government, with support from provincial government and Indonesian Red Cross have responded to the emergency situation. Nineteen earthquakes measuring 5.0 or above on Richter scale (RS) occured across the country during October.

Several volcanoes increased their activities during October. Mount Marapi in West Sumatra erupted, spewing dark clouds up to 2,891 metres high. The Centre of Volcanology and Geological hazard Mitigation (PVMBG) raised the alert status of the volcano to level 2 (caution). Mount Lokon in North Sulawesi also erupted and spewed smoke up to 1,200 metres into the sky on 26 October. Increased activities were also recorded at Mount Anak Krakatau in Sunda Strait and Mount Papandayan in West Java. Their alert status however remained at level 3 (warning) 3. On the contrary, Mount Anak Ranakah in East Nusa Tenggara decreased its volcanic activity and PVMBG lowered the level of alert from 3 to level 2. Currently there are 4 volcanoes at alert level 3, including Papandayan, Karangetang, Lokon, and Anak Krakatau, and sixteen volcanoes at alert level 2.

The Meteorology and Geophysics Agency (BMKG) reported that most parts of the country entered the rainy season in October, including Sumatra, Java, Kalimantan and Sulawesi, and the rest of the country will enter the rainy season in November. The peak of the rains is expected in January or February 2012. During the month, heavy rains triggered floods and landslides in several areas of the country causing damages to properties and losses to lives. The worst flooding occured in Donggala District, Central Sulawesi on 17 October, killing three people.
