EARTHQUAKE PREPAREDNESS AND BASIC DISASTER AWARENESS TRAINING

Earthquake Training

Earthquake

Flood

Tsunami

Tornado

We teach what to do before, during and after an earthquake through hands-on scenarios: at work, at home, or caught in a shopping mall or on public transport. From hazard hunts to family emergency plans, our training follows international standards. We run the drill in your own building, using your employees’ real escape routes and assembly area.

What Makes Our Training Different?

We do not make people memorize; we turn knowledge into the right behavior during an earthquake.

US FEMA-Trained Specialist

The content draws on expertise from in-person disaster management programs of the United States Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).

Field-Experienced Team

Team members who have served in disaster and emergency response explain what really happens and what actually works.

A Scenario for Your Building

Your floor plan, exits, assembly area and workforce profile are placed at the heart of the training.

A Method That Sticks

With short theory, plenty of practice and real cases, your employees turn knowledge into behavior.

Training Program

Eight topics, each starting with short theory and completed with practice.

Introduction to Disaster Management

Key concepts, the difference between hazard and risk, the disaster management cycle and the role of organizations.

Before an Earthquake

Non-structural hazards, securing furniture, the earthquake kit and the family disaster plan.

Drop, Cover, Hold On

The correct position during shaking, choosing a safe spot and protection from falling objects are practiced.

The First 72 Hours

We plan how water, food, first aid and communication needs will be met in the first three days after a disaster.

Evacuation and Assembly

Evacuation routes, the assembly area and headcount steps specific to your organization are practiced on site.

Casualty Evacuation

Moving an injured person safely and handing them over to the first aid team are practiced as a team.

Surviving Under Debris

Basic methods for protecting yourself and signaling for help if trapped under debris.

Psychological Resilience

Coping with panic, peer support and the basics of psychological first aid after a disaster.

Not Just Earthquakes: Basic Disaster Awareness

The program also builds basic awareness of other natural hazards that could affect your organization.

Earthquake

The moment of shaking, aftershocks and safe behavior inside the building.

Flood

Warning signs, moving to higher ground and electrical safety.

Tsunami

Natural warning signs and rapid evacuation for coastal workplaces.

Tornado and Storm

Choosing a sheltered area and waiting safely when a high-wind warning is issued.

Earthquake Drills with Realistic Scenarios

Türkiye is located in a region of high seismic risk. Organizations therefore need a preparedness process that goes beyond a written plan and works in practice. In drills, employees learn their duties and responsibilities by performing them, coordination between teams is tested and your organization’s level of preparedness is measured. With tailored scenarios adapted from disaster management practices in Japan and the United States, and a post-drill analysis report, your organization goes beyond its legal obligations and becomes more resilient to disasters.

Training Process

From needs to report: measurable preparedness in four steps.

1. Needs Analysis

We examine the building, layout, workforce profile and employees with special needs on site.

2. Theory

Earthquake awareness, safe behavior and preparing for the first 72 hours are explained in plain language.

3. Practice and Drill

Drop, Cover, Hold On; evacuation, headcount and casualty transport are practiced in your own building.

4. Reporting

Drill observations, gaps and improvement recommendations are delivered in a written report.
