Disaster Preparedness and Response Training 2016 TURKEY'S BEST PRACTICES IN DISASTER MANAGEMENT FOREWORD Fuat OKTAY, Ph.D. AFAD President Due to its geological, geomorphological and climatic structure, Turkey is one of the countries most affected by natural disasters. Earthquakes, landslides, floods, rockfalls and avalanche disasters are common in our country, with earthquakes ranking first in terms of the level of damage caused. A look at the past 60 years of disaster records indicates that the level of economic losses caused directly and indirectly by natural disasters in Turkey equals nearly 3% of the GDP. As the Prime Ministry Disaster and Emergency Management Authority (AFAD), we believe that the first and foremost prerequisite for dealing with natural disasters is a change of social perspective, or mentality. Based on this belief, we have embraced the mission of creating a "disaster resilient society." Our motto is to become an organization that learns, establishes systems, evolves constantly, profits from past experiences. August 17, 1999 has been a turning point for disaster management strategy in our country. After establishment of AFAD in 2009; Integrated Disaster Manage- ment System centered around preparedness, planning and mitigation efforts and focused on risk management has been introduced. Thus all stages of disaster and emergency management in the framework of systems approach began to be managed under the coordination of AFAD. AFAD has changed a major paradigm shift related to natural disasters and rather than to improve their impact after the occurrence of natural disasters in Turkey, we believe that we must prioritize measures to prevent the occurrence of this effect and risk reduction efforts. Turkey Disaster Risk Reduction Plan, (TARAP) to be es- tablished with all ministries, institutions, and organizations will put this vision into practice, and create a rational system to protect our national gains more effectively by spending less of our common sources. Since our establishment, we have endeavored to establish systems in every area we are responsible for and to manage the risks. We have developed the Turkey Disaster Response Plan (TAMP) which uses systematic, sustainable, information technology and advanced technology systems, such as satellite and aviation in one integrated system. With the coordination of TAMP and AFAD, and together with our ministries, central and local institutions and organizations, governorships, lo- cal administrations and NGOs; we have created a structure that can act as a joint force for Turkey during the "Zeroth Minute" of disasters.Our work in disaster man- agement is not limited to TAMP. We are continuously working to build a Turkey that is resistant to disasters. While only 25 percent of schools in our country was resistant to earthquakes and natural disasters at the time of the earthquake of 1999, this percentage has reached 80 percent now. As a result of these effort, the UN has chosen Turkey as the leading country of Southeastern Europe in terms of improving school safety. 2 With immediate and effective response in all kinds of disasters and humanitarian crises, AFAD is serving all humanity by becoming an international brand in disaster readiness, humanitarian crises, recovery efforts, mitigation and risk management. To accelerate the change in mentality that is essential to create a Turkey more resilient to disasters, we launched a training campaign with the slogan "Disaster Ready Turkey". With the campaign launched by the President of the Republic of Turkey Mr. Recep Tayyip ERDOĞAN, up to 5 million students, teachers and citizens have learned about the proper behavior and actions to follow in face of disasters. AFAD constantly endeavors to create a country that is better prepared against disasters and emergencies. With our projects and activities in recent years, we have established a disaster management model considered as exemplary around the world in disaster management. And in terms of humanitarian aid, our country has evolved from an aid recipient country to one which provides aid. But we never become complacent with the progress we have made, and will continue to set even higher goals for ourselves to become a country that is better prepared for disasters, and a world leader in this area. With its developed capabilities, human resources and the projects it creates, AFAD assists Turkey in its drive towards a sustainable development model, and achieving a significant system. And as we fast approaching the Turkey envision for the year 2023, AFAD is undergoing a significant system and technology transfor- mation in disaster management. With immediate and effective intervention in all kinds of disasters and humani- tarian crises, AFAD is serving all humanity by becoming an international brand in disaster readiness, humanitarian crises, recovery efforts, mitigation and risk man- agement. In addition, the Prime Ministry's AFAD also carries out the actions defined under "Enabling the Emergency and Humanitarian Assistance" section of the "Develop- ment of International Cooperation Infrastructure for Progress Program (KAGEP)" within the scope of Priority Transformation Program designed to enhance the ap- plicability and effectiveness of the Tenth Development Plan. In this context, we hope that this work entitled "Turkey's Best Practices in Dis- aster Management," which represents one of the Actions of the aforementioned Program, will help contribute to future studies.

  • Soner Cagaptay August 19Th, 2020 INTRODUCTION Soner Cagaptay Is the Beyer Family Fellow and Director of the Turkish Research Program at the Washington Institute
    Erdoğan’s Dream & the Return of the Ottoman Empire | Soner Cagaptay August 19th, 2020 INTRODUCTION Soner Cagaptay is the Beyer Family fellow and director of the Turkish Research Program at The Washington Institute. He has written extensively on U.S.-Turkish relations, Turkish domestic politics, and Turkish nationalism. A historian by training, Cagaptay wrote his doctoral dissertation at Yale University (2003) on Turkish nationalism. Dr. Cagaptay has taught courses at Yale, Princeton University, Georgetown University, & Smith College on the Middle East, Mediterranean, & Eastern Europe. His latest book is Erdoğan's Empire: Turkey and the Politics of the Middle East. FROM THE BOOK Nations that were once great empires, such as Turkey, often have an inflated sense of their heyday. This, of course, leads to a readiness to be inspired, or a vulnerability to be manipulated, by effective politicians who are able to embody and speak to this narrative. Understanding the importance of Turkey’s imperial past is essential to understanding modern Turkey. This is because a romantic view of the collapsed Ottoman Empire continues to shape the views held by Turkish citizens of their place in the world. Enter Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, the country’s president, who has held sway since 2003. Erdoğan, who has won thirteen nationwide polls, consolidating power in Turkey over decades, is the country’s most consequential and powerful leader, probably since Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, who, in 1923, established modern Turkey out of the ashes of the Ottoman Empire at the end of the First World War. The Romans measured time by saecula – the number of years that had to pass between the time of the occurrence of an incident and the death of all the people who were alive at the time of this 1 incident.
