# FEMA Joins Istanbul Technical University in Training Program 

## As part of the U.S response to the earthquake in Turkey, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and Istanbul Technical University (ITU) launched an extensive emergency management training partnership.

**Page 5**

# FEMA Joins Istanbul Technical University in Training Program 

## The objective is to create an educational model for the development of professionally trained emergency managers in Turkey and to increase the general population\'s understanding of the need for earthquake planning and preparedness.

**Page 6**

# FEMA Joins Istanbul Technical University in Training Program 

## FEMA sent trainers from its Emergency Management Institute (EMI), along with expert technical consultants, to the ITU campus to conduct \"train-the-trainer\" emergency management classes and exercises. FEMA, working with ITU, developed a 19-course curriculum constituting the basic building blocks necessary for effective emergency management training.

## NATIONAL EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT, EDUCATION AND EXERCISE IMPLEMENTATION PROGRAM

## 

**Page 24**

## 

## The goal of the project is to update, provide sustainability to the emergency management system of Turkey via the training obtained through the FEMA-ITU ACHIEVE Project. 

**Page 25**

## 

## The ITU faculty members who are certified by FEMA will take part in this education project for the Turkish Nation covering topics of Emergency Management and Disaster Preparedness. 

**Page 26**

# 

## An education plan for each regional area will be prepared taking into consideration the regional priorities and properties. The topics included in the education program will be from those topics covered in the FEMA-ITU ACHIEVE emergency management education project. 

**Page 27**

# 

## Target Groups

## *Local Authorities* 

##  Governors, Deputy

##  Governors, Mayors, Local Emergency Managers

## *Related Officials* Police Officials, Fire Officials, Health Officials, Construction and Public Works Officials, Social Service Officials, Transportation Officials, Structural Safety Officers, Local Electricity Officials, Natural Gas Officials, Water Officials and Communications Officials

**Page 28**

# 

##  The most important outcome of the project will be the training of local disaster management officials in order to prepare the country and its people for a possible future disaster, minimize any possible losses, and accelerate the recovery stage following a disaster.

## DEVELOPMENT OF THE NATIONAL EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT MODEL

**Page 34**

# 

# The aim of the National Emergency Management Model 

##  is to provide the data that will be used to create an emergency management model which will be appropriate for the conditions of Turkey. 

**Page 35**

# Scopes of the project are 

## Detection of deficiencies and problem types related to previous disasters

## Identification of model types of high disaster risk countries

## Examination of the current regulations in Turkey

## Suggestion of new agencies and organizations needed to implement Emergency Management

## Identification of all kinds of people, equipment and financial opportunities

## THE DEVELOPMENT OF A NATIONAL DATABASE USING GIS & REMOTE SENSING SYSTEM (RSS) AND THE STANDARDS FOR A DISASTER MANAGEMENT DECISION SUPPORT SYSTEM 

## 

**Page 37**

# 

##  The goal of this project is to develop the standards of a Geographical Information System (GIS) - based information and management system which will operate using the Remote Sensing System (RSS), the Global Positioning System and other data collection techniques.

**Page 38**

# 

## GIS will be used for emergency planning and administration, disaster management and damage estimation, and as a decision support system for central and local authorities (ministries and local administrative units).

**Page 39**

# 

## Yesterday, 5 June 2001, an other agreement between ITU and Turkish Red Cross is signed.

## The aim of the agreement is to provide a training program based on CERT to the members of the Turkish Red Cross.
