Disaster and emergency action plan and its conceptual-methodological-managerial dimensions: Eastern Black Sea case study

Climate change has become a global problem that affects the entire world and has major impacts on the life cycle. Natural disasters, one of the biggest impacts, create increasing damages in the world and in our country every year. Natural disasters cannot be prevented, but precautions can be taken. After major disasters around the world, many countries can overcome the disasters with less damage as a result of the precautions they take. Our country has a geography where natural and artificial disasters occur frequently. The primary disaster type may vary regionally. In this context, the Eastern Black Sea Region is a region where floods and inundations are experienced as primary disasters. One of the most important reasons why disasters in the region have devastating effects is the wrong spatial selection of residential areas. Adopting a planning approach that is separate from the spatial planning system in the risk reduction process increases the loss of life and property in disasters. With the envisaged "Disaster and Emergency Action Plan" process, a three-stage proposal was developed with a participatory approach, including sections and sub-expansions to the current disaster management process.
