A magnitude 5.2 earthquake shook the Cianjur region on Monday, November 21, 2022. The Cianjur earthquake caused hundreds of casualties, people's homes were destroyed, and not a few roads were cracked because they were not strong enough to withstand the shock. The Metereology, Climatology and Geophysics Agency (BMKG) revealed that the earthquake originated from the movement of the Cugenang fault. Reporting from the Instagram account of the Regional Disaster Management Agency (BPBD) of Cianjur Regency, as many as 593 people were seriously injured and 114,683 residents were forced to evacuate. As for other damage data, BPBD recorded 16 sub-districts consisting of 169 affected villages.
