A 5.6 magnitude earthquake struck in mountainous Cianjur region on the west coast of
Indonesia’s Java island just before 1:30 p.m local time on Nov 21, 2022. The quacke’s epicenter
was relatively shallow at about 6.2 miles in depth. Hundreds of aftershocks of varying intensities
were felt and hampered recovery efforts. The quake was felt as far away as Jakarta, about 60
miles northwest of Cianjur and in nearby cities of Sukabumi and Bandung.
After a few days, the search and rescue efforts moved into search and recovery as some
people were buried in their homes and other buildings, which either collapsed around them or
were swept away in a landslide.
Officials continued to assess damages in mid-December and reported significant damage
to building, infrastructure and communications. Local emergency responders were supplemented
by support from the Indonesia’s government, the military, the Indonesia Red Cross and hundreds
of nongovernmental organizations from the area.
As of Nov 28, emergency management command of the incident was passed from the
federal agency on to the Regional Government of Cianjur Regency.
