This page is dedicated by RDI to record the knowledge management
regarding the disastrous earthquakes that have hit the Island of
Lombok (known as Lombok Earthquakes), inflicting fatalities, injuries,
and damages to the island and its inhabitants. Thanks to our on-site
partners involved in the region, we are provided with a steady stream
of data, which we attempt to process and elaborate on, in order to
inform readers about relief efforts, damages to the communities, city
and districts, along with the rehabilitation and rebuilding
assessments and current progress.
It is hoped that our findings could bring light to how various public sectors are affected, the
immediate needs of those who are currently displaced, how to mitigate and reduce the
impact of disaster in the future, and what we need to be aware of in an emergency
response setting. The findings will be published on our website as additional information for
individuals and institutions that are involved in the earthquake relief and response efforts.
