ABSTRACT
Climate changes create damaging effects in many regions on a global scale. Although climate changes
manifest themselves in the form of drought experienced in terms of global warming, extreme weather or
extreme climatic events also appear as unexpected, unusual, severe, or non-seasonal weather conditions,
ın other words extreme climate events. Main responsibilities of the public administration are preparing,
updating, and publicly sharing the provincial strategic action plans to raise social awareness regarding the
knowledge of different types of disasters, preparation for these types, planning, timely and appropriate
intervention, management and restructuring. The fact that the storms, which are the subject of this study,
turn into disasters, cause loss of life and property shows that it is urgent necessity to develop institutional
strategies in this regard. As a first step in creating these strategic action plans, individual, institutional
and social resilience needs to be built around storms-which should be acknowledged as a type of disaster.
The planning of financial management, public administration taking responsibility, public compliance
to necessary instructions, sectoral preparation, and etc. will constitute the important pillars of these
strategies. Consequently, with the concept of “Resilient Cities” significant contributions will be made in
preventing losses caused by disasters caused by extreme weather events.
Keywords: Climate Change, Storms, Disaster, Disaster Administration, Resilient Cities.
