Join us for a joint webinar from EERI’s Learning From Earthquakes (LFE) program and the Social Science Extreme Events Research Network (SSEER) network. The webinar will share observations and findings from the EERI-SSEER reconnaissance team that traveled to Turkey in October 2024 to conduct follow-up reconnaissance on the impacts of the February 6, 2023 Kahramanmaras Earthquake Sequence. The team members, Michael Mieler, Burçak Başbuğ, Süleyman Çelik, Louise Comfort, Alpay Demiryurek, Ayse Hortacsu, Carlos Molina-Hutt, Sabine Loos, Halil Sezen, and Egemen Sönmez, conducted reconnaissance on issues in recovery and resilience in the areas of employment, schools, and housing. The team also focused on capturing lessons that can inform the development of functional recovery codes and standards. Their report will be released in early February.
