## 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.

## 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.

## 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.
