National and International Organizations in Disaster Management

Abstract

While disasters can occur anywhere in the world at any time, they damage people, living spaces, nature, infrastructure, and the economy. In disasters, the elements that show us the capacity for disasters are the existence and capacity of national and international institutions, disaster training, economic, technological, academic, and human resources. National and international disaster coordination has a very important place in global disaster response. At the national level, coordination in our country is conducted by the Disaster and Emergency Management Presidency (AFAD). The United Nations and its sub-organizations provide most of the international disaster coordination. This coordination is most effective on issues such as adherence to guidelines, local health structures, ethical constraints, planning, and preparation. In this article, national and international institutions and organizations in disasters are included. © 2025 Nova Science Publishers, Inc. All rights reserved.
