THE INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM OF DISASTER & EMERGENCY – INFORMATION & INTERVENTION (SODEII 2022), 25 Ocak 2022, cilt.1, ss.76-84
Our
region is a country where many types of disasters are in large quantities, and
besides disasters, it also encounters humanitarian crises due to its
geopolitical position.
The
basic philosophy in disasters is what we can do after the disaster; “that is,
how can the workplace, business or the living environment be restored as
quickly as possible with the least damage?” is the main study topic.
Today,
the rapid progress of industry and technology, and the settlements where
population density and urbanization increase as a result, and the fact that our
country is in a location where disasters are most common, show us how important
disaster awareness, disaster and emergency situation are . It is thought that
this will increase the risk of loss and damage, especially in terms of the
concentration of these urbanizations in the Marmara region and the fact that
disasters such as earthquakes occured earlier in this region and the earthquake
risk is higher in this region.
What
is important here is to reduce these risks as much as possible, to be prepared
for unavoidable risks, to plan what to do in disasters and emergencies, and to
implement plans during disasters.
If
we divide the struggle against disaster into three parts: before the disaster,
during the disaster and after the disaster, the most important of these studies
is the pre-disaster practical work.
Before
the disaster, mitigation and preparatory stuiedes can be done. In mitigation
efforts, it should be aimed to educate people about emergencies and disasters
and raise awareness, and as a result, reduce casualties and injuries by taking
simple precautions. The main element here is to minimize the risk of disaster
and to survive the disaster with the least loss of life and property by making
quick and conscious intervention during the disaster. In addition, being
prepared for the negative effects of disasters for people and taking
precautions means being prepared to intervene with the most appropriate
organizational methods.
During
and after the disaster, crisis management studies are carried out to prevent
the increase in loss of life and property in the post-disaster period. The
basic philosophy here is to save the lives of a large number of people as soon
as possible, to intervene with the injured, to meet the needs of those outside,
namely shelter, food, clothing, drink, water and so on, with the most
appropriate methods as soon as possible.
In
summary, disaster and emergency management aims to prepare in advance for
possible disasters and emergencies, to take measures for realization, and to
get rid of losses in the least way and with the least damage.
In
order to be successful in Disaster and Emergency Management, it is necessary to
get the support of the top manager, that is, the top manager. It provides this
support by authorizing while planning and by ensuring the participation of
other managers in these studies and in the form of instructions.
