Jakarta have been the capital of the relatively safe from earthquakes and tsunamis strike. The disaster occurred mostly in West Java Lembang Fault along the South Sea or off the coast. Indeed there is the potential to threaten Jakarta, namely the Sunda Strait.
According to Professor Sri Widiyantoro, professor of seismology in Indonesia, there is no technology that can predict an earthquake and tsunami accurately.Experts can only see limited potential.

"Potentials megathrust earthquake (large) in Indonesia in the south of the Sunda Strait. Was based on national earthquake map which states that the area has the potential for an earthquake around 8.5 to 8.8 on the Richter scale," she said as dikutpi of vivanews.
"The potential megathrust earthquake that occurred in the area south of the Sunda Strait was also potential tsunami," she said.
This opinion is reinforced by Professor Phil Cummins, chief scientist Geoscience Australia and Professor of Natural Disasters of the Research School of Earth Sciences, Australian National University. According to him, otensi earthquake in Indonesia was no south along the Sunda Strait, which is the fault of Sumatra to the Andaman Sea slab.
"As in eastern Nias, west of Sumatra region, the region south of Java. Essence, places it originated in four major tectonic plates," said Cummins.
Seismicity research strengths and areas containing potential earthquake should be deepened further to see the maximum strength of the earthquake.
Earthquake-proof buildings in Jakarta
Potential of the massive earthquake that threatens Jakarta should be anticipated as early as possible. One way to begin to build earthquake-proof buildings.
"That should do the earthquake experts is to provide maximum information of the quake. Buildings so that there are in the area it is designed to withstand the maximum power of the quake," said Cummins.
Currently, retrofitting existing studies, which look at the state of the power of existing buildings in Jakarta. Does it follow the building code (earthquake resistance) are new. If not it is necessary to retrofit or strengthening buildings.
"Not to destroy, but to add the bones of buildings, concrete, and other. Engineering experts over control of this matter," said Sri.
Ah, it seems problematic in Jakarta will never run out. Handling need extra hard in order to preserve the existence of the Betawi village. Nobody can predict when it will happen, but of course prevention is better than cure.
