Introduction
# BMKG Monitor
Monitor and analyze seismic activity in Indonesia using real-time data from the Badan Meteorologi, Klimatologi, dan Geofisika (BMKG).
## Quick Start
Run the monitor script to fetch the latest data:
```bash # Get the latest significant earthquake (M5.0+) python3 scripts/get_gempa.py latest
# Get list of earthquakes felt by people (including smaller ones) python3 scripts/get_gempa.py felt
# Get recent history of M5.0+ earthquakes python3 scripts/get_gempa.py recent
# Get detailed Moment Tensor and Phase history python3 scripts/get_gempa.py detail <EVENT_ID> ```
## Workflows
### 1. Checking for Recent Shaking If a user reports feeling a tremor or asks "Was there a quake?", run `get_gempa.py felt` first. This list includes smaller, shallow quakes that people actually feel.
### 2. Deep Analysis When a significant quake occurs, use [references/seismology.md](references/seismology.md) to explain: - The meaning of the Magnitude. - The intensity levels (MMI scale) reported. - Potential impact based on depth and location.
### 3. Coordinating with News If the user provides a "Moment Tensor" or "Beach Ball" diagram (usually from a detailed BMKG report), refer to the "Moment Tensor" section in `references/seismology.md` to identify if the quake was Strike-Slip, Normal, or Thrust.
