Istanbul Tsunami Action Plan Ready

The 'Istanbul Tsunami Information Booklets' study, prepared with the cooperation of IMM and METU, has been completed. With the study, separate reports were prepared for all districts of Istanbul that would be affected by the tsunami, and measures were taken to minimize possible losses.

Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality conducted a study on possible tsunami scenarios and action plans in the city under threat of earthquakes. In the first phase of the study, which was realized in cooperation with IMM and Middle East Technical University (METU), “Istanbul Marmara Coasts Tsunami Modeling, Vulnerability and Hazard Analysis Update Project” was completed in 2018, and the tsunami effects of the city's seaside districts were investigated extensively. In the second stage of the study, the 'Istanbul Tsunami Action Plan (2019)' was introduced. With this study, actions were taken to minimize possible losses for each district, based on the risk factors identified.

TSUNAMI REPORT OF 17 DISTRICTS ON WEB 

Work; Islands, Avcılar, Bakırköy, Beşiktaş, Beylikdüzü, Beyoğlu, Büyükçekmece, Fatih, Kadıköy, Kartal, Küçükçekmece, Maltepe, Pendik, Silivri, Tuzla, Üsküdar and Zeytinburnu, for 17 districts that have a direct coast to Istanbul and are expected to be significantly affected by the tsunami.

Tsunami hazard and risk analyzes and actions for reducing risk are reported separately for each district, https://depremzemin.ibb.istanbul/guncelcalismalarimiz/#le-tsunam-blg-ktapiklari

It was also shared with the public on the website.
