Pre- and Post-Disaster Planning

Disaster risk management is recognized as a primary focus of our endeavors in recent years. In the realm of pre-disaster planning, we have developed numerous strategies known as “Risk-Sensitive Land Use Plans” and “Resilience Master Plans.” These initiatives are designed to fortify city master plans, as well as the institutions and stakeholders involved, enabling them to effectively manage disasters and improve their adaptive capacities in the event of such occurrences. In the aftermath of a disaster, we offer services such as the “Post Disaster Needs Assessment,” often referred to as PDNA. We have provided our assistance to the Turkish government and ILBANK in conducting a post-disaster needs assessment across the 13 provinces following the earthquake that transpired on February 6, 2023. Our expertise extends to the recovery processes of communities, encompassing building assessments, infrastructure evaluations, the prioritization of necessary investments, negotiations with international financial institutions and relief organizations, as well as the facilitation of social recovery initiatives. Drawing upon our extensive knowledge and experiences in undertaking such intricate tasks, we have successfully implemented numerous initiatives in this domain.
