2. ABSTRACT On Saturday morning, 27th May 2006, an earthquake of 6.3 magnitude shook the area around Indonesia’s ancient royal city of Yogyakarta on the island of Java. The quake devastated an area already facing the threat of a volcanic eruption from Mount Merapi and flattened substandard housing in many poor village communities.Damaged houses in Bantul Village, Jogyakarta.Impact on Lives and HomesStriking at the crack of dawn, while many were still asleep, the quake has claimed the lives of an estimated 4,000-5,000 people according to official government figures. Up to 20,000 people were injured while more than 100,000 people lost their homes according to UN sources. In the area surrounding the city of Yogyakarta, 45,000 houses were destroyed and reconstruction work is estimated to cost more than US$100 million.On 29th May 2006, the Indonesian government declared a state of emergency. The three-month emergency period was aimed at providing food, healthcare and shelter to an estimated 50,000 people. The Indonesian government pledged to complete "reconstruction and rehabilitation" within a year.

3. Habitat’s Response Through its local volunteer network, Habitat’s Yogyakarta affiliate is supporting and helping to co-ordinate local partner organizations in the immediate aftermath. HFH International and national Indonesian staff have joined the local affiliate to conduct a joint assessment of the damage. A Habitat Resource Center for Disaster Response (HRC) will be set up to co-ordinate a long-term response. Through the HRC, Habitat will be able to provide technology for new house construction, support for repairs and renovations, construction management, and technical support for survivors and other aid agencies, and material and logistics support as neededearthquakee.jpg Earthquake.jpg

4. International Call for Action Habitat for Humanity’s Global Collaborative Network of HFH national organizations around the world are invited to join HFH Indonesia in providing meaningful and lasting support to the people of Yogyakarta.   HFH Indonesia is appealing for donations for those affected by this devastating earthquake. These funds will be used for the urgent setting up of the Habitat Resource Center(s) to expedite the provision of services needed for the repairs and reconstructions of homes devastated by the earthquake.gempabumi.jpg

5. Design Donations to the Indonesian Earthquake Appeal 2006 will support communities affected by the recent Java earthquake and will be used for the following activities: — To support the repairs and renovations of houses through the setting up of Habitat Resource Center(s) in the affected area; — To fund the deployment of specialist construction and community development workers to assist in this response; and — To provide continued support to HFH Indonesia to build disaster response support capacity at the national level.

6. According to scientist an earthquake is the shaking of the ground cause by seismic waves. Almost all earthquakes occur when pent up stress in rocks along large, active faults (like the SAF) is suddenly released as the rock breaks. Like anything that breaks, it makes 'noise' and this noise comes in the form of seismic waves that make the ground tremble, though it is not just sound waves (P waves). Seismic waves propagate through the earth and along its surface. Anything that produces seismic waves is called an 'earthquake'. Landslides and moving magma in volcanoes make earthquakes. Nuclear and chemical explosions also produce seismic waves that can be distinguished from natural earthquakes. In the US, the United States Geological Survey and its affiliated research institutions are responsible for monitoring and studying earthquakes, and helping to mitigate their effects.

7. CONCLUSION The SAF is the largest earthquake-producing fault in California but it is not the only one. The most active one is the San Jacinto fault. The region that is seismically most active is Cape Mendocino. Other faults that have or will produce big earthquakes are the Hayward, Calaveras, Newport-Inglewood, and Owens Valley faults. The 1994 Northridge earthquake occurred on a relatively minor (and at the time unknown) fault, later called the Northridge blind thrust fault. The quake was notable because it occurred in a heavily populated area. The much larger 7.3 Landers earthquake in 1992 took place in a sparsely populated area of California and resulted in relatively little damage. Conclusion
