Abstract:
On February 6, 2023, Turkey was struck by the most powerful earthquake recorded since 1939, leaving millions of people devastated and homeless with over 36,000 casualties. According to the Ministry of Health, at least 50% of the major health centers were damaged, with only about 30% of the pre-existing doctors able to help. The earthquake occurred during a harsh winter and amidst an ongoing humanitarian complex situation in Syria resulting from the Syrian civil war that started in 2011. This report aims to present the Turkish 2023 earthquake preparedness and mitigation efforts. The objective of this article is to extract valuable insights and identify measures that can be taken to improve response based on the lessons learned from this event.
