Indonesia’s Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysics Agency (BMKG) forecasts aftershocks will continue to rattle the Flores region of East Nusa Tenggara for another 21 to 30 days following the recent earthquake. The initial 7.0 magnitude quake triggered landslides and widespread damage, resulting in fatalities and displacement. While the aftershocks are expected to decrease in intensity over time, residents are urged to remain vigilant. BMKG emphasizes the potential for further landslides, especially during rainfall, as the land remains unstable. Authorities are continuing rescue and recovery efforts, providing aid to affected communities. The agency advises people to stay away from vulnerable structures and monitor official updates for the latest information regarding aftershock activity and potential hazards. This prolonged period of aftershocks complicates the recovery process and heightens the risk for those already impacted.
