Our country, especially in Kahramanmaraş-centered Hatay; With the earthquake felt in 11 provinces (Gaziantep, Malatya, Diyarbakir, Kilis, Sanliurfa, Adıyaman, Osmaniye, Elazig and Adana) there was a great destruction.
Apart from the wreckage seen on the screens, there is a great pain and tragedy felt in the hearts. Approximately 13 million people were directly affected by the earthquake. Many died, were injured, lost their family, home, shelter, environment and all their savings.
Victims had to leave the land where they were born and raised. Many were left alone in the world. Many children are without parents, without parents; was childless. grandparents; They were left without children, grandchildren, orphans. These are the real pain and tragic aspects of the issue.
Everywhere we look at the subject, it is full of heartbreaking pain. No matter how bad it is to "describe how great what happened and make sensational sentences" at a time when these people need moral and psychological support, it is just as ugly to discuss the possible Istanbul earthquake, to try to manage the earthquake perception, to turn it into a political conflict before proper help arrives to the disaster area and the debris is removed!
OUR EARTHQUAKE SCORECARD
Aside from the mistakes made before the earthquake, the unsustainable process during the earthquake was costly. We do not want to lose our hopes for the post-earthquake now.
A three-stage process can be mentioned as what should be done before, during and after the earthquake.
What mistakes were not made before? Poor urbanization, narrow streets, unplanned construction, lack of building inspection, unlicensed construction, ground survey, suitable density, multi-storey building on the fault line, zoning plan, control of concrete class, missing iron reinforcement, poor quality construction materials, tendering to supporters and almost every period There are many chains of negligence that come to mind at once, such as the repeated zoning amnesty. We can even add local political conflicts and reckonings in some regions (such as Hatay).
First of all, because we do not understand Allah's way of ruling the universe (sunnatullah), we cannot save ourselves from trouble. The measures to be taken before disasters occur in our country, which is an earthquake zone, must have been calculated, "how little damage can we get out of this business".
Emotions should be abandoned and precautions should be taken, and after all precautions were taken, trust was to be made and God's help was to be expected.
Waiting for Allah's help without taking precautions and fulfilling responsibilities is a form of arrogance.
WHO IS RESPONSIBLE?
So, who would take these measures? Of course, it would be done with the mind of the state and public authority before the people. Things such as urbanization, planning, inspection and infrastructure were the things that should have happened in earthquake country.
While the 17 August 1999 earthquake and the Van-Elazığ earthquakes were experienced recently; hastily, before the bodies were found, before the debris was removed, and the ground condition of the fault line was not determined; It is not possible to understand what reason the words like constructions will start, cities will be established, the tender process is completed.
Aside from the negligence before the earthquake, the disasters during the earthquake – which I cannot say about attitude and attitude – unfortunately failed the class.
In addition to all these, the “political will” threatens, sets, insults, and uses unspeakable sentences. I can't find anything to say because this attitude is ruthless, ruthless and ruthless. No, it's useless to cover up the failures. Promises made one after the other do not fill the stomach. People who were in the earthquake zone and experienced the earthquake do not have the ability, emotions or psychology to listen to the politicians about the future and to hear the promises.
