Türkiye

This newsletter presents an overview of earthquake data and their impact on the country over the last century.

This study presents recovery needs assessment across selected sectors and presents findings on key challenges for recovery from the 2023 Turkiye-Syria Earthquakes.

This policy brief details the impact of this natural hazard on Syrians living under Temporary Protection in Türkiye and how it exacerbates their pre-existing precarious living conditions.

This article makes the fundamental assertion that DRR policies addressing urban spaces must strive to redress drivers of social vulnerability.

The recovery and reconstruction assessment presented here comprises of an assessment of the financial impact of the earthquakes which struck Turkiye and Syria in February 2023, applying modified PDNA methodology, and a “recovery vision.”

In this study, a novel approach for the combined assessment of landslide, flood, and earthquake hazard susceptibility was proposed and evaluated in a region in the Elazig Province of Türkiye, which is tectonically active and vulnerable to multi-hazards.

This report provides an early and preliminary estimate of the direct damage costs caused by these earthquakes, which in turn will inform the response of the World Bank Group and its partners and support planning for recovery and reconstruction.

This is an editorial which explores the key lessons from the 2023 Türkiye–Syria earthquakes in relation to building design and construction.
