StEER 2022 Mw 5.6 Indonesia Earthquake Preliminary Virtual Reconnaissance Report (PVRR)

The first product of StEER’s Level 1 response to the M5.6 Indonesia Earthquake is this Preliminary Virtual Reconnaissance Report (PVRR), which is intended to:
(1) provide details of the November 22 M 5.6 earthquake, (2) summarize the tectonic features of the event, (3) synthesize the recording ground motions and provide comparisons with design-level shaking, (4) briefly encapsulate the local building codes and construction practices and (5) provide a preliminary assessment of the damage to buildings and other infrastructure as well as the broader societal impacts. The PVRR includes both the official report as well as a supplementary media repository containing additional imagery gathered by the VAST. As the product of entirely virtual reconnaissance, the PVRR is not based upon detailed field investigations by StEER.
