Erzincan Binali Yıldırım College Rector Prof. Dr. Akın Levent stated that devastating earthquakes happen each and every two years in Turkey and that folks must severely get ready for this example.
“EBYÜ-DTE and KOYOTO-DPRI 1st Joint Workshop” was once arranged via the college’s Earthquake Applied sciences Institute at EBYÜ Yanlızbağ Campus Earthquake Applied sciences Institute Convention Corridor.
Talking on the workshop, Levent mentioned that Turkey faces devastating earthquakes each and every two years and stated, “Having it each and every two years is an overly nice frequency. We want to get ready for it very severely.” he stated.
Pointing out that it’s not conceivable to arrange for an earthquake in a little while, Levent stated, “Some media earthquake academics steadily pop out and get in touch with out to our other people and say ‘watch out’. For God’s sake, let us know tips on how to watch out. What does being cautious imply? Being cautious is a short-term factor. On the other hand, being cautious in an earthquake can take years.” “It is not one thing we will be able to get ready for day after today, it is one thing we will be able to get ready for fifty years from now.” he stated.
EBYÜ Earthquake Applied sciences Institute Director Prof. Dr. Şevket Özden mentioned that the 1939 Erzincan earthquake was once some of the essential milestones in our historical past of consciousness and stated:
“The ratio of the choice of other people we misplaced within the 1939 Erzincan earthquake to our inhabitants at the moment is roughly 2 occasions upper than the entire devastating earthquakes we now have skilled thus far. Our losses of lifestyles and belongings within the Erzincan, Kocaeli, Van, and maximum not too long ago Kahramanmaraş earthquakes within the remaining century have long gone a ways past applicable limits. At the one hand, Whilst our engineers have to guage the problem of training intensive as soon as once more, however, practitioners and not using a technical coaching must be stopped from turning our houses into earthquake-proof graves. “In all probability the bottom stage of training on a sectoral foundation is the development sector. Other people to whom you can’t give an explanation for the issue can by no means be part of your answer. We will by no means win the warfare in opposition to earthquakes with groups which can be detached, irresponsible and keep away from duty.”
Academicians, AFAD officers, representatives of non-governmental organizations and scholars attended the workshop.
