Can you work in Indonesia?

Earthquake, Volcano and a Tsunami.

The powerful earthquake that struck Indonesia late Monday near the Mentawai islands off the west coast of the island of Sumatra, had a 7.7 magnitude, it killed 23 people and triggered tsunami waves.

The 7.7-magnitude earthquake struck at a depth of 13 miles (20 kilometers) off Sumatra island, and was followed by a 5.0 magnitude aftershock in less than an hour. On top of the 23 confirmed deaths, more than 160 people are missing.

The quake caused huge waves of up to 3 meters high that hit the Mentawai islands, sending thousands of panicked residents running to higher ground.

Hundreds of homes were damaged by the quake and the waves. The government already sent aid including emergency shelters, food and other supplies, but stormy weather is making it difficult for the rescue teams to reach the affected areas.

Officials were rushing on Tuesday to evacuate thousands of residents surrounding Mount Merapi, the country's most volatile volcano, since pressure is building up according to scientists.

Indonesia is vulnerable to earthquakes and volcanic activity since it’s located on the Pacific Ring of Fire.

Rebuilding work will begin when the dust settles. We will keep you posted.
