According to the Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics Agency (BMKG), the magnitude of the 30 September earthquake has been revised from 7.6 Richter Scale (RS) to 7.9 RS.

Reports indicate electricity has not been restored and there is a need for more tents. In the city of Padang, rubble clearing continues and the resumption of daily activities is increasing. Local authorities are working with shelter experts from Malaysia and are considering the use of a housing model designed to better withstand earthquakes for the rehabilitation and reconstruction phase. Electricity in the city of Padang Pariaman has been restored to 100 percent capacity; telecommunications infrastructure still requires repairs. The Department of Social Services has restored clean water in most of the affected areas. The World Bank in coordination with the Development Planning Agency of West Sumatra is conducting a damage and loss assessment (DALA). UNDP, through the cluster coordination mechanism, is conducting simultaneous human recovery needs assessment (HRNA) to complement the DALA. These assessments will contribute to the Post-Disaster Needs Assessment (PDNA). The results of the PDNA are expected to be presented at a Government of Indonesia (GoI) cabinet meeting on 30 October 2009. On 9 October, a humanitarian response plan in coordination with the GoI was locally launched in Jakarta.

III. Humanitarian Needs and Response Needs According to BNPB, the following items are still needed: family tents, water pumps, spot lights, generators, blankets, water installations and psycho-social support for the affected population. Food relief and balanced distribution is still required in some remote areas. BNPB confirmed a stock of 774 family tents but more tents are needed to accommodate up to 99.862 people. GoI reported they have 1.075 generators, but still need an additional 12.300 generators.
