Muğla launches "Every Day Together Against Disasters" project

Muğla Municipality has initiated the "Every Day Together Against Disasters" project, aiming to enhance public awareness and preparedness for emergencies. The initiative, spearheaded by the Disaster Affairs and Risk Management Department, seeks to build a more resilient society.

The project uniquely blends the traditional Turkish "gün" culture, a social gathering typically for women, with disaster preparedness education. These "GÜN Buluşmaları" (Gatherings) will be held in various neighborhoods, bringing vital information directly to families and diverse community segments.

We aim to reach families and different segments of society with information on disaster preparedness through neighborhood "GÜN Gatherings."

The inaugural "GÜN Buluşma" featured local artist Gülnihal Demir, who volunteered as a Disaster Awareness Ambassador. Demir supported the project's launch and highlighted the critical importance of being informed and ready for potential disasters.

During these neighborhood gatherings, municipal teams will provide practical training on how to respond to various emergencies, including earthquakes, fires, and floods. The sessions cover basic disaster awareness, first aid, and hazard identification, equipping participants with the knowledge and skills to recognize and manage risks in their daily lives.

Being conscious and prepared for disasters is important.
