A NEW MODEL IN DISASTER MANAGEMENT:
TURKISH NATIONAL RISK SHIELD MODEL

Tuğrul ÇAMAŞ - A. Menaf TURAN

ABSTRACT
The Kahramanmaraş Earthquakes that occurred on February 6, 2023 in Turkey effected in 11
provinces, more than 50 thousand of our citizens lost their lives, and many settlements suffered
that great destruction. Earthquakes, which we have experienced together with fires, floods
and landslides due to the climate crisis in recent years, have become a reality of our country.
Although the response capacity of the state has increased since the 1999 Marmara Earthquake,
with all the means of the state and the measures it has taken before and after disasters occur, the
search for new models is still continuing. After the February 6 earthquakes, a new one was added
to these searches and the Turkish National Risk Shield Model, consisting of 13 boards, was put
into practice. With the model that determines fighting not only earthquakes but all disasters
as the main purpose, studies are carried out on the recovery of 11 provinces affected by the
earthquake, on the one hand, suggestions and measures to be implemented throughout Turkey
are developed on the other hand. The aim of this article is to evaluate the Turkish National Risk
Shield Model, which was developed as a new model in disaster management, with all its aspects.
