THE
COLLECTION, SYNTHESIS, AND QUALITY ASSESSMENT OF DATA DESCRIBING THE RESPONSE
TO HUMAN NEEDS FOLLOWING THE 1999 TURKEY EARTHQUAKES
The
purpose of this NSF Funded
research project is to identify, collect, synthesize and quality assure
human needs planning data before this data is lost or the ability
to interpret data is degraded.
The resulting data bases are available on this website for researchers
and emergency planners and will provide the basis for developing models
capable of predicting the service delivery capability required to meet
human needs following future earthquakes in Turkey. The
main goal of this project is to enhance the capability of government and
non government organizations for emergency management, humanitarian relief,
and recovery planning for potential major earthquakes in Turkey.
The research is being conducted by Principal Investigator John R. Harrald, Director of the Institute for Crisis, Disaster, and Risk Management, Irmak Renda Tanali, D.Sc. Candidate and Research Associate of ICDRM, and Jeanne B. Perkins, Earthquake Program Manager, Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG).
