Indonesia Needs Us
2018 has not been geologically kind to Indonesia.
An underwater landslide caused by the eruption of Anak Krakatau spawned a tsunami that as of today (Dec. 24) has killed 373 people. This already on top of other earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, and the Sulawesi Tsunami. Millions have been displaced, thousands dead, and many more still missing. As Anak Krakatau is an actively erupting volcano, it could still generate more waves, hampering rescue efforts and displacing more people.

Many of those affected were owners of tourist driven industries, and will now be unable to earn money this holiday season as their property and businesses have been destroyed. People have their only source of income, their beloved family, and friends..

Hey, the people in my country have been devastated. Please spread the word! And it’d be nice if people also donated to human aids for Palu! They’re still suffering from lack of electricity and clean water!
@modmad hey here are some links for some help!!!
!!!! please help!! been tracking the situation for the past week post-tsunami. not only people, but so many sealife like turtles are stranded on the mainland and turns out the buoys that’s supposed to detect incoming tsunami’s have been broken since 2013-2014! :(( We need to rebuild the affected areas.
In addition, it’s insane how i was actually supposed to go to carita beach one day before the tsunami! (i live in capital city jakarta) but my family decided not to and the tsunami struck the coast the next day 😖 that area has a special place in my heart as i visit there a lot in my childhood. 💖 sending lots of prayers!
