A strong magnitude 6.3 hits near Indonesian cities. Adaption Methods would include the forecasting and warning system for such an event as well as determining if a tsunami is to follow. Neither Japan of Indonesia has issued a tsunami warning.
This shallow earthquake hit at about 351 kilometers east-northeast of the East Timor capital Dili according to the US geologic survey. It was lucky enough that the quake hit in a remote area where there is little likelihood of too much damage, injuries or casualties. Shaking was felt in nearby cities but it was not damaging. Being on the Ring of fire, Indonesia often gets seismic as we as volcanic activity caused by the colliding of plates.
