An earthquake of magnitude 7.4 has struck offshore neaer the Indonesian island of Sumatra. The US Geological Survey stated that the earthquake hit 214 km south of an Indonesian province named Aceh. Due to this earthquake, a local tsunami alert was triggered in the region. The region that was struck by the earthquake is very near to the place tsunami was created in 2004, so people are anxious about another disastrous tsunami.In 2004, Indonesia was not well-prepared for a tsunami; therefore Indonesia was more harshly damaged. After that severe loss due to the tsunami, I think people learned how serious a tsunami is. If they didn't want to suffer the same impact, I think Indonesia should be very careful for a tsunami. Although the tsunami might not strike Indonesia, it is definitely better to be safe than risk it. If the first tsunami that struck Indonesia was a sudden strike that caused millions of deaths, they should be prepared to hide from the tsunami at any time.
