A
series of powerful earthquakes struck the Indonesian island of Sulawesi on
Friday, September 28. The largest quake, a powerful magnitude 7.4, shook the
region at 5:02 p.m. local time, triggering a tsunami, major liquefaction and
landslides that hit nearby coastlines, including the coastal city of Palu. The
quake was centered about 35 miles northeast of Donggala and 50 miles north of
Palu, which have a combined population of more than 600,000 people. The
following recommendation are based on the findings of the IMC Emergency
