In the wake of the devastating February 2023 #Turkey-#Syria #earthquakes, a cross-disciplinary team supported by USAID - Bureau for Humanitarian Assistance embarked on a vital damage reconnaissance mission in June.

Among the participants were Anirudh Rao and Luis Martins from GEM Foundation. Over five days, the team from U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), KOERI, METU, Hacettepe University, and GEM conducted rapid assessments, evaluating damage to over 500 buildings in the affected regions. Their forthcoming presentation promises to shed light on key field survey observations and their profound impact on #seismic models.
