I  join my thoughts to those in Ruth's eloquent message.

 From the point of view of science:

This is a truly enormous event, and there have been quite a few 
stations occupied either in campaign mode or permanently in 
Indonesia.   the geodetic signals should extend at least 1,000 km 
from the epicenter --- at least in the direction of rupture---   I 
think it is essential that  such data should be collected and 
archived, together with the post-seismic data, recorded as densely as 
possible, in both space and time.

Best regards...and successful New Year to all.
Bernard
