A “Megaquake” Is Coming. How Indonesia And Japan Are Getting Ready. | Insight | Full Episode

In August 2024, both Indonesia and Japan issued warnings of a potential megathrust earthquake. The Indonesian Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics Agency (BMKG) warned that it is "just a matter of time" before the next big one hits.

Now, on the 20th anniversary of the devastating 2004 Indian Ocean Earthquake and Tsunami, Insight asks, where and when will the next major quake occur?

Has the experience two decades ago helped to prepare for an impending disaster? Indonesia has stepped up its seismic monitoring capabilities and improved its disaster management capabilities. Indonesia and Japan have also shared learnings on Early Warning Systems and quake-resistant buildings. Will such exchanges help in the next seismic event?

With scientists saying that a megathrust quake is due in Indonesia and Japan, will we be ready for the next big quake?
