BMKG Install 6 Sensors to Monitor the Activities of Mount Anak Krakatau

Go fakta. Jakarta - The Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics Agency (BMKG) installed sensors to monitor vibrations triggered by the tectonic activity of the Mount Krakatau Children. A total of 6 sensors were installed around Mount Anak Krakatau

"6 sensors, 3 in Sumatra and 3 in Java," said BMKG Head of Earthquake and Tsunami Center Rahmat Triyono during a press conference at the BMKG building, Jalan Angkasa, Central Jakarta, on Tuesday (12/25/2018) night.

He explained that the sensors would later record every vibration that occurred on Mount Anak Krakatau. He hopes that with this sensor the BMKG can detect the location from which the vibration originated.

"We hope that if one sensor records or at least 3 (censorship records) we can know the source of the shock. If it is not because of the activity on Krakatau it is safe, but if it is on Krakatoa we will do anti-dispute," he said

Rahmat hopes that with the censorship, the tsunami event caused by the activity of Mount Anak Krakatau can later be detected. According to him, if the sensor records the presence of vibrations with a magnitude of more than 3.4 magnitude, the BMKG will provide an early warning.

"If we can monitor the vibration, 3.4 M can be BMKG can provide a warning," he said.
