“EXCITING TUCSA ASKK PROJECT”
Özgür AVSAR, chair for Disaster and Emergency Rule (ASKK)
“Turkey is one of the top countries in the list of those that are most affected by natural disasters because of its geographic location, with its tectonic systems and innate structure. Natural disasters cause great losses in human and economic aspects. Turkish Disaster and Emergency Rule Authority AFAD in short is working by the mentality of damage reduction and preparedness for prevention of damages instead of the usual attitude seen in disasters up to date where the disasters strikes and then state intervenes does something. We do follow your association’s projects on how steel structures can be beneficial in disasters we are in contact regarding this issue. Your developement of ASKK (Disaster Aftermath Rapid and Permanent Housing Project) is welcomed by our establishment. We anticipate the outcome to be beneficial of our cooperation in this developement.”
