The Lombok 2018 earthquake is one of the rare and very interesting natural phenomena to understand. This earthquake in Lombok in 2018 was a powerful land earthquake reaching 7SR, which hit the entire island of Lombok, Indonesia in July and August 2018, and below is a report of my interview with one of the victims of the Lombok earthquake in 2018.

    So our guest speaker is sen usman study program D-3 MT bravo class from wanasaba village, east Lombok. The earthquake in Lombok occurred for exactly one month starting on July 29, 2018, and the most devastating earthquake in Lombok occurred 3 times, which is precisely on July 29, August 5, and August 9 2018. When the earthquake in Lombok was first precisely on July 29 218 sen usman was in the village because of his semester holiday, on that date it also coincided with a tradition or a large-scale event that had become a tradition for the people of Lombok, before sen usman and 3 of his colleagues went to the event they rested at the boarding house, and when they rested there was an earthquake and they did not realize that an earthquake occurred and an interval of 5 minutes there were aftershocks and they realized that an earthquake had occurred on that day so they suddenly got up and left the boarding house, and it turned out outside . And all communication devices at that time could not be used, perhaps one of the factors was the earthquake which resulted in usman cents unable to contact relatives and closest friends who were sent by usman sen.

    On August 5, precisely the Sunday of the Lombok earthquake occurred in the afternoon, and sen usman was in a traditional market to sell goats, after selling the goats the usman went home in the middle of the trip with a 6.2SR earthquake resulting in a car which he was driving almost upside down, spontaneously he immediately jumped from the car and ran to a safer place. And the end of the most devastating Lombok earthquake occurred on August 9, 2018, where we were informed by one of our friends who said that tonight there would be a terrible earthquake measuring 7SR which would occur at 00.00. after hearing the news, we were surprised and immediately told the surrounding community just in case the clock. At 9:30 a.m. and sen usman had the desire to visit his grandmother at her grandmother's house, and the time needed to go to her grandmother's house was around 10-15 minutes from her house. arriving at home her grandmother and made sure that her grandmother was fine, sen usman immediately met her friends in one village with her grandmother and they gathered at a hangout and started a game and the penny sitting position was near the door. And when they were playing cool, they were shocked when the 7SR earthquake struck at 23.00 where the previous earthquake forecast information was not right, and made all of his friends who were in the camp screaming in fear and ran out because of the terrible shock. And without thinking sen usman decided to go back to his own home on foot with 30 minutes because if riding a motorcycle it is not possible because the road has been filled with people. And in the middle of the trip sen usman had a fight with a young man he did not know, because the young man behaved like a thief where other people were busy saving himself casually entering the house to pick up items, but senus usman ignored him and emphasized the condition of his family. When he arrived he asked him to meet and meet his family and they gathered together and his mother's father said if this was the last time we met whether you would forgive us and he said do not think of strange things and sen usman sent his parents and an aged brother 3 years to rest and sleep soundly because there are us young men who look after you, after all the time the earthquake has subsided.

    During the first month of the earthquake the building conditions in the area of ​​the US Army were indeed quite severe, especially the house of Sen Usman itself which had been cracked became even worse and in the 7SR shock resulted in the house of usman collapsing on the back wall and the front wall cents usman still living in mass evacuation. And for logistical needs in the Lombok area, especially in the village of Sen Usman, the remote bishop received logistical support from the Lombok community who were in the village, if the USman penny relied on the government there might be no hope because of the earthquake affected so that they sought help other than the . From the community of Lombok in Jogja sen usman received assistance of 1.5 million for 1 village and usman cents did not share it in the form of money but sen usman bought logistical items and only distributed them in the form of logistical items, selin From the community there was also assistance from STTKD campus as well as help from classmates from usman cents. And for clean water problems it is hard to find so that the people around using water from paddy irrigation before being used for drinking and cooking they filter it first, and for their bathing needs they cover it first. And from the government until now there has also been no assistance going into the area of ​​Wanasaba village. And the condition of the airport is indeed badly damaged and closed for 1 month because it really can't be used for 1 month. And the number of souls during the 1 month earthquake in Lombok was as many as 97 people, of the 97 victims the most caused by heart disease but there were also victims who died from being hit by chunks of house building. and the files or valuables were not cared for by the family cents usman but at the time his mother wanted to take the items and valuables but was banned by the USman penny himself because they could endanger themselves.

    The government's efforts in responding to the 1-month earthquake disaster were that the government had built a earthquake-proof ruman in North Lombok and construction of the building was made of iron and steel to anticipate if aftershocks occurred again. And every family gets just one room to rest, and the government's relief efforts are not evenly distributed because in the village of Wanasaba, East Lombok, until now they have not received any assistance at all from the government.
