Quake Hits Indonesia

The quake hit around 10:42 in the morning and was reported to be a magnitude of 7.2. Indonesia's Meteorology and Geophysics Agency at first issued a tsunami warning but ended. it within a short while. The quake would create waves that would do some damage and be irregular but nothing that would intiate a tsunami. Indonesia is prone to quakes and volcanic activity because it it located on the pacific ring of fire.
I think that too many quakes hit countries that are not prepared for any environmental crisis's. There is no known way of stopping a earthquake or any other thing like it but i think that most countries that have expirienced them before should become better prepared but maybe having shelters ready that are stocked with water and food. If these countries were better prepared then it could lead to much less deaths and better coping.
