Some of the houses have collapsed due to the earthquake with a magnitude of M 6.

The geological natural disaster centered in the Garut area last night serves as a warning that the intensity of relatively large-scale earthquakes is looming over Java Island. According to the BNPB report, for at least the past three years, from 2021 to 2023, there have been earthquakes that have caused relatively significant impacts.

In 2022, an earthquake with a magnitude of 5.6 occurred in the Cianjur region, West Java. The earthquake, which occurred on land with a depth of 10 kilometers during the day, was felt in 10 districts/cities in West Java. The impact of the earthquake was relatively significant as it claimed the lives of 602 people and left 5 others missing. In addition, it caused injuries to 593 people and forced 114,683 people to evacuate temporarily.

The following year, in 2023, an earthquake with a magnitude of 6 shook the Bantul region, Yogyakarta Special Region Province. The earthquake, which occurred in late June in the evening, was located at sea, 86 kilometers southwest of Bantul, with a depth of 67 kilometers. The earthquake did not have the potential for a tsunami, but was also felt in 22 districts/cities in Yogyakarta, Central Java, and East Java.

From the catalog of the Center for Volcanology and Geological Disaster Mitigation, there are several reports indicating some large-scale earthquake events on the island of Java. In the same year, which was 2006, another major earthquake occurred in the coastal area of Pangandaran, West Java with a magnitude of 7.7. The quake, which occurred on July 17, 2006, caused a tsunami with a height ranging from 1-6 meters, spreading from Pangandaran Beach, Kebumen, Cilacap, to Samas and Parangtristis Beaches in Yogyakarta. There were recorded 550 casualties who died and hundreds injured around the coast.

Kediri Has the Highest Regional Gross Domestic Product in East Java, Central Java, and West JavaSeveral regencies/cities in Central Java, East Java, and West Java have recorded a Gross Domestic Product (GDP) above Rp 100 million or above the national GDP of Rp 75 million per year. GDP per capita usually reflects the prosperity of a region due to the size of its economic value. However, this reflection is not entirely accurate as GDP per capita calculates the value of the region's GDP divided by its population. If the region has a large GDP value and a small population, then the GDP per capita will be high. However, if the GDP is large and the population is also large, then the GDP per capita value will be smaller. Kediri in East Java becomes the regency/city with the highest GDP per capita in East Java, Central Java, and West Java. The cigarette-producing city records a GDP per capita of Rp 541.11 million per year or Rp 45.09 million per month.
