A global earthquake is a natural phenomenon that has a broad impact and affects various aspects of life throughout the world. Earthquakes occur due to shifts in tectonic plates which cause vibrations on the earth’s surface. The impact of the earthquake cannot be considered trivial, because it not only damaged infrastructure, but also had a psychological impact on the people who experienced the incident. One of the significant impacts of a global earthquake is physical damage. Building structures, roads and bridges can experience serious collapse, causing traffic obstruction and disrupting economic activities. For example, the 7.0 magnitude earthquake that rocked Haiti in 2010 resulted in the loss of around 230,000 lives and financial losses of up to 14 billion US dollars. This earthquake showed how vulnerable infrastructure in developing countries is, which is often not built to high standards. Social impact is also an important issue after the earthquake. People who survive often experience psychological trauma. Research shows that individuals who experience natural disasters have a high potential for experiencing PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder). Overcoming this mental health problem requires serious attention from the government and non-government institutions, by providing psychosocial support. On the environmental side, earthquakes can cause landslides, tsunamis and liquefaction, which damage local ecosystems. For example, the earthquake that occurred in the Sunda Strait in 2018 triggered a tsunami that hit coastal areas, destroying marine biota and natural habitats. This incident shows the link between geological phenomena and the environment, which must be managed wisely to ensure habitat sustainability. Facing the impact of the earthquake, the response of governments and international organizations is very important. The development of an early warning system for tsunami waves and earthquakes is very necessary. Technology such as smartphone applications and network-connected sirens can provide information quickly to citizens. Apart from that, community training in the form of evacuation simulations also supports disaster preparedness. Building earthquake-resistant infrastructure is a preventive measure that should not be ignored. Countries such as Japan have implemented strict building regulations that require architects and engineers to take the potential for earthquakes into account when designing buildings. Investments in research on soil behavior and earthquake impacts will also enrich the database needed for urban planning and regional development. From an economic perspective, recovery after an earthquake requires a long-term strategy. Recovery programs must involve the regeneration of the local social and economic climate. Involving communities in planning and decision making can increase local resilience to future disasters. Global earthquakes are not only a challenge, but also an opportunity to raise awareness about the importance of disaster mitigation. Seminars, public lectures, and information campaigns can educate the public about preventive steps that must be taken. The involvement of all parties, including government, academics and the community, is a key factor in building disaster resilience. Through comprehensive analysis of the impact of earthquakes and the development of coordinated responses, we can improve preparedness and build communities that are more resilient to the threat of natural disasters. With the right steps, it is hoped that we can reduce the risk and minimize losses caused by earthquakes in the future.
