Abstract

The "Emergency Response and Community Impact" section of the reconnaissance report was prepared by evaluating the period from the first earthquakes on February 6 to February 14, based on daily or even hourly preliminary data collected across the region. When this report is published, many of the problems pointed out here in the days and hours after the earthquake might probably be solved for many parts of the region. The main purpose of this section of the report is to reveal the actual situation in the emergency response and the effects of this situation on the communities in the period that lasted for 9 days after the major destructive earthquakes. An expanded version of this section is available on the METU-EERC website.
