BMKG mengimbau masyarakat tidak terpengaruh video viral Frankie MacDonald yang meramalkan gempa M 7-9 di Indonesia, karena gempa tidak dapat diprediksi waktu dan lokasi secara tepat. Indonesia memang rawan gempa akibat megathrust dan sesar aktif, dengan rata-rata terjadi dua kali gempa M>7,0 per tahun. BMKG menilai ramalan yang kebetulan cocok dengan peristiwa nyata hanya kebetulan statistik semata.

Poin-Poin Utama

BMKG urged Indonesian citizens not to believe unverified viral video.
Video made by Frankie MacDonald, Canadian man, claims Indonesia will face M 7-9 earthquake.

Wijayanto spoke to reporters on Tuesday (8/9/2026).
Indonesia located in earthquake-prone region with megathrust and active fault threats.
No technology currently exists to predict earthquake time and location accurately.
Indonesia averages 2 earthquakes with magnitude greater than M 7.0 per year.
Two M >7.0 earthquakes occurred in Indonesia in 2026 through August: Flores and Maluku Utara.
