Dear Residents,

Merdeka!

On Indonesia's 61st Year of Independence, I wish to congratulate our Indonesian nationals and residents who are celebrating the spirit of independence and freedom brought about by the country's founding fathers. To mark the occasion, we have prepared many activities for you and your family to participate in and enjoy a day of fun together with your friends and neighbors as one community living in peace and harmony. Traditional games and sports events will be held starting on August 7th until August 12th.

Take time to be entertained at the Paprika Library Café. Saturday afternoon movies “Just for Kids”, Live Music on Saturday nights and delightful specialties from Chinese cuisine will be featured throughout the month of August. Also, in this month's issue of INSIDE, meet our Pilates instructor whom you'll find very helpful in designing a personalized Pilates program to get you on the way to better health and fitness.

Recently, an earthquake shook Jakarta. Although it did not bring any damage albeit it caused some panic in the city. INSIDE, you will find interesting pointers and safety tips in the event of an earthquake. I highly recommend that you refer to your Guidebook to review emergency procedures in the event of a disaster. The Guidebook is a valuable reference manual which we encourage our residents to read and observe. You will find it worthwhile to refer to from time to time as it contains important guidelines which have been devised and formulated to ensure an environment at The Pakubuwono Residence where our families can feel safe, comfortable and reap the benefits of a wonderful worry-free lifestyle.

We continue to add more services for your convenience. By simply filling in a Credit Card Authorization Form, payment of service charges, sinking fund and utilities with a valid credit card can be arranged. For maintaining your Air Conditioning units, do call our Tenant Relations who will book a technician to clean the A/C units in your apartment at a minimal cost. Please contact the Tenant Relations Officer in your tower who will gladly set up the service for you.

Welcome Home to our residents who have just returned from their holidays and of course, to our new residents who have recently joined the Pakubuwono 'family'. Please let us know if there are any activities you would like us to put together for you.

We are here to serve you.

Dirgahayu RI!

Detlef Skrobanek
General Manager

Taken from the Message of the Governor of DKI Jakarta Province at the Earthquake evaluation meeting.
(18 July 2006)

An earthquake rocked Jakarta on July 17, 2006. The epicenter of the earthquake was at the Indian ocean, south of Pangandaran and measured 6.8 Richter Scale.

Jakarta was hit by intensity 2-3 MMI (Modified Mercaly Intensity) but did not cause any material damage or death. Many panicked though especially those who were working or visiting high rise offices and buildings at the time of the earthquake.

In the event of an earthquake or natural disaster, whether small or big, below are helpful tips to follow in time of a quake:

If you are inside:
1. Remain calm and stay away from things that could fall easily
2. Crawl under a sturdy desk or go to a corner of the room
3. Cover your head with your arms
4. Do not use stairs or elevators

If you are outside:
1. Calmly move to an open area
2. Remain in place during a quake.

Interesting Points:

Jakarta is not located in the active fracture route of earthquakes.

Jakarta will only receive the impact of the source of earthquakes from outside Jakarta. The source of the earthquake that possibly had an impact in Jakarta are :
(a) earthquakes from around the sunda strait,
(b) earthquakes from the zone subduction in south West Java,
(c) the fault or crack in West Java like the Cimandiri crack.

Jakarta is generally safe from the tsunami danger.
