== Cultural Insights ==
 
Indonesia's geography and tectonic plate movements contribute to its vulnerability to natural disasters. The country sits on the Pacific Ring of Fire, where several tectonic plates meet, resulting in frequent earthquakes and volcanic activities. Indonesians have developed a strong resilience and preparedness culture to cope with these natural disasters.
 
In some regions of Indonesia, certain natural disasters have become part of the local culture and traditions. For example, the eruption of Mount Bromo in East Java is considered a sacred event by the Tenggerese people. They believe that the eruption is a sign of the gods' protection and fertility for their agricultural lands.
 
During natural disasters, Indonesians often come together to help those in need. Community-based organizations and volunteers play a crucial role in providing assistance and support to affected areas. The spirit of "gotong-royong," which means mutual cooperation and assistance, is deeply ingrained in Indonesian culture.
