INTEGRATED DISASTER MANAGEMENT

ABSTRACT
Due to the environment in which they develop, natural disasters and man-made disasters, whose areas of
influence vary, sometimes trigger each other, and sometimes they can develop within the same time period,
although they have independent formation mechanisms. Determining the risk factors to be caused by all these
global, regional and local hazards directs us to Multiple Disaster Risk Management. In this study, the 30 October
2020 Samos Earthquake, which is caused to the loss of life and property in İzmir during the Covid-19 pandemic,
the Harmandalı Landslide triggered by aftershocks, and the tsunami occurred in the Siğacık Bay right after the
earthquake were evaluated in terms of multiple disaster management. As it is known, after the earthquake on 30
October 2020 in Kuşadası Bay during the Covid-19 Pandemic process, many of our citizens were left under the
collapsed buildings due to the collapse of 17 buildings in Bayraklı district. About 10 minutes after this
earthquake, a tsunami occurred in the Sığacık Bay. In this period, when a significant part of the society was
sitting at home in order to reduce the risk of transmission in the Covid-19 pandemic, the earthquake required
being outside the house. From this point of view, it is important to include disaster management strategies
required by contradictory actions in response plans. In this context, it is extremely important to know where and
how different types of disasters can develop and affect the population and impact areas before the disaster, and to
model scenario-based damage and risk estimation studies. Although reducing the risk of disasters is the primary
duty of the State, at the same time, responsibility for risk reduction must be shared by all relevant layers of
society, including local government, private sector and other stakeholders. Strategy plans to be carried out within
the scope of occupational health and safety in multiple disaster management should also be determined before
the disaster. In this context, employees at the scene were evaluated in terms of occupational health and safety
during the response phase of geological disasters such as the Samos earthquake, tsunami and Harmandalı
landslide that occurred during disasters with a high risk of contamination such as Covid-19. As a result, it is
predicted that the probability of encountering unforeseen problems related to disaster risks in the future will be
quite high if multiple disaster risk reduction policies are not predetermined and implemented in disasters that
may develop in the same time period with the disaster management model during the rescue work where the risk
of contamination is at its peak.
