Kurzfassung:
Turkey has been the site of devastating earthquakes. Two massive earthquakes in Antioch (today Antakya) in CE 115 and 526 reportedly claimed more than 500,000 lives. Since 1900, ∼90,000 people have lost their lives in 76 earthquakes, with a total affected population of ∼7 million and direct losses of ∼25 billion U.S. dollars (USD). About half the lives lost were due to two earthquakes associated with the North Anatolian Fault in 1939 and 1999 ( 1 ). The resulting losses place Turkey in the top 20% of all countries exposed to earthquake hazard with regard to mortality and economic losses ( 2 ). Recent efforts are helping to increase Turkey's earthquake preparedness.
