An earthquake with a magnitude of 4.8 rocked Sumedang and its surroundings on Sunday (31/12/2023) evening Cirebon and several other areas in West Java Based on official information from the Meteorology the location of the earthquake was at coordinates 6.85 degrees South Latitude (LS) and 107.94 degrees East Longitude (BT) This earthquake had a depth of 5 kilometers the epicenter of the earthquake was 2 kilometers northeast BMKG also noted that earthquakes had rocked the Sumedang area four times on December 31 2023 The first earthquake occurred at 14.35 WIB with a strength of M 4.1 and a depth of 7 kilometers The epicenter of the earthquake was 1 kilometer northeast of Sumedang Regency Then the second earthquake occurred at 15.38 WIB with a strength of M 3.4 and a depth of 6 kilometers the epicenter of the earthquake was 1 kilometer northeast of Sumedang Regency Then a third earthquake with a strength of M 4.8 occurred at 20.34 WIB An aftershock occurred again in Sumedang Regency Monday (1/1/2024) at 20.46 WIB with a strength of M 4.5 and a depth of 10 kilometers The epicenter of the earthquake was located 4 kilometers north of Sumedang Regency It is known that due to the series of earthquakes that occurred hundreds of buildings in Sumedang Regency were damaged said that around 138 housing units were slightly damaged and 100 housing units were heavily damaged Sumedang Regional Hospital was one of the buildings affected by the earthquake So hundreds of patients had to be evacuated Based on official information from the Center for Volcanology and Disaster Mitigation of the Geological Agency (PVMBG) the earthquake is thought to have occurred due to the activity of the Cileunyi-Tanjungsari Fault Dean of the Faculty of Earth Science and Technology there is a possibility that the earthquake could be triggered by the movement of the active fault “I agree with what has been conveyed by the Geological Agency There is a possibility that there is an earthquake source there namely activity from the Cileunyi-Tanjungsari Fault "Both the parameters of the earthquake source and so on," he said when contacted Monday (1/1/2024) there are various institutions that are members of the National Earthquake Study Center (Pusgen) together with several other related institutions would jointly look for parameters from new earthquake sources to identify in more detail the earthquake that occurred in Sumedang "Learning from the earthquake that occurred in Sumedang It is possible that later they will be included in the sources of new earthquakes that occur in Indonesia," he said another thing that he said is of concern is that the strength of the earthquake is not too big "There are three things that are of concern it turns out that there is an earthquake source that is not too big in magnitude but it turns out to be quite shallow in depth what are the characteristics of the soil layer in West Java which has various volcanic products so it can increase earthquake shocks," he said "This is what makes an earthquake with a small strength but the shaking feels hard on the surface," he added Then the third is the geographical condition of the area in Sumedang and its surroundings which has a large population and is crowded with buildings so it could potentially cause a lot of damage when a disaster occurs Irwan asked the public to be aware of the potential for earthquake disasters which even though their strength is not very large "This is something that needs to be a lesson namely the Cianjur earthquake in November last year it still caused significant damage," he said The public is also advised to increase their preparedness and awareness of aftershocks and other potential disasters Don't forget to continue following instructions from the government agencies and local authorities regarding the latest disaster information so you can think more clearly in order to take the next necessary steps SUMEDANG, WEST JAVA — As the New Year loomed, Sumedang, West Java, was hit by a 4.8 magnitude earthquake, causing extensive damage to thousands of buildings.

Songsong Citengah art itb.ac.id—Rice has been a staple food for Indonesians Its commodity significantly influences the national economy One alternative worth considering is the taro (Colocasia esculenta (L) Schott) Taro has a more complete nutritional value compared to other types of tubers and has been widely cultivated in Papua and Java regions as both sources of food and industrial raw materials West Java make taro their leading horticultural agricultural commodity The taro planted there is called the Pratama taro; its name is taken from the abbreviation of the names of three LIPI researchers who developed it The Pratama taro is the resulting product between the Semir taro from Sumedang and the Sutra taro from Thailand The tubers have two varieties: SS 1 (Sumedang Simpati 1) and SS 2 (Sumedang Simpati 2) Both have been registered as local varieties at the Center for Plant Variety Protection and Agricultural Licensing under the management of the Ministry of Agriculture of Indonesia both varieties of the Pratama taro are unique in their own ways The SS 1 variety has a yellowish tree with smooth the SS 2 variety is green with a purplish stem if enlarged Its tubers are white with purple fibers and the number of saplings is less than the SS 1 variety the advantages of the Pratama taro have not been utilized optimally tubers are sold as a whole and usually consumed by boiling the shelf life of the taro is very short without the appropriate treatment There are other methods that can be applied to process and increase its economic value a community service program organized by ITB SITH aims to help Tanjunghurip Village farmers in creating supply chains and more varieties of the taro’s derivative products It was held on 5-6 August 5-6 2022 at the Ganeas Multipurpose Building with the support of the Agriculture and Food Security Service of Sumedang Local communities are invited to the hands-on training of processed taro products as well as FGD (Focus Group Discussion) with both farmers and villagers They were accompanied in creating taro flour Flour has a low moisture content and promotes longer shelf life taro flour has a high capacity to absorb water and fat it can be used as a thickening agent for soup or other processed products and extend the shelf life of processed meat and cake products.” Another derivative product that can be made from taro is milk The beneficial carbohydrates found in it act as the main energy-producing substance for the body which cannot be replaced with other substances the carbohydrates can balance acids and bases in the body Taro sticks are made from taro that are cut lengthwise they resemble french fries and at first glance They have a savory taste and crunchy texture The main purpose of processing taro into sticks is to meet the needs of the community and optimize the use of crops The hope is that new job opportunities will be created to increase the income of the community and village taro chips are another healthy snack created to have a long enough shelf life and a good economic value People seemed to like the snack so the prospect for its development is promising Aside from conducting a mentoring program that provides guidance in making taro products the community service team provides training on its packaging and branding design They plan to help market these products online and

Guswanto stated that prior to this incident, BMKG had issued an early warning for extreme weather conditions in the West Java region. The early warning was disseminated on February 21, 2024 from 11:30 am to 4:40 pm, four times for areas affected by extreme weather events. "However, we cannot provide specific early warning for tornadoes due to their small scale and quick formation, making it difficult to monitor on radar," he said. A house was damaged on its roof due to a whirlwind that hit Sumberdalem Village, Kertek Sub-district, Wonosobo Regency, Central Java, on Wednesday (1/3/2023). BMKG also monitored the presence of cyclonic circulation in the Indian Ocean west of Sumatra Island which resulted in the formation of a neutral point area with areas of convergence and wind deceleration (convergence) and wind bends (shearline) around the West Java area. This condition can increase cloud growth around the area of ​​convergence and wind bends. The instability index, which is categorized as moderate to high in some areas of West Java, has the potential to increase convective cloud growth activity on a local scale.
