The Disaster Preparedness Workshop at Sabancı University brings together academic researchers and field practitioners to address critical challenges in disaster management. Scheduled for 16 May at the Tuzla Campus, this event is designed as a collaborative platform to bridge the gap between theory and practice in the preparedness and response phases of disasters.
Our mission is to foster open dialogue, share practical experiences, and collectively develop actionable solutions that can enhance disaster resilience. In light of the devastating Kahramanmaraş earthquake in 2023, the workshop particularly encourages participants to reflect on real-world relief efforts, logistics challenges, and coordination strategies.
By creating a space where success stories and operational difficulties can be shared candidly, we aim to strengthen collaboration between academia and practitioners. Together, we strive to build more adaptive, responsive, and effective disaster preparedness systems for the future.
