“Good Youth Project to Facilitate Transportation and Information Flow in Earthquake-affected areas!”

The search and rescue operations for the earthquake that occurred in Kahramanmaraş and affected 10 provinces are ongoing. Coordination of transportation and information is of vital importance in these operations. In this context, a project developed by Good Youth is sharing information about temporary housing, food distribution, and gathering areas on a website created for this purpose.

Turkey was shaken by two earthquakes of 7.7 and 7.6 magnitudes centered in Kahramanmaraş. Due to the magnitude of the earthquake, serious damage was also caused in Gaziantep, Hatay, Malatya, Adıyaman, Şanlıurfa, Diyarbakır, Adana, Osmaniye and Kilis provinces. The number of casualties and injured continues to increase as time passes, and the rescue operations are also underway at full speed.

Good Youth developed a project to facilitate transportation and information flow in the earthquake-affected area for the residents and those who want to help. With the project, important locations such as temporary housing, food distribution points, gathering areas and assistance collection points throughout Turkey can be accessed through the website https://www.afetdestek.com/. Residents can get information about their needs by following the instructions on the relevant website.

“We are in a period where seconds matter”

Good Party Youth Policies, Technology and Entrepreneurship Responsible Fırat Özsayın, who made assessments regarding the project they created to contribute to the earthquake operations, said, “Creating healthy communication channels for our citizens in disaster zones is of critical importance. The transportation and information flow in the affected areas must be facilitated as soon as possible. In this context, we have developed a project with the Good Youth team and collected important locations such as food supply, housing and gathering areas on a website throughout Turkey. We aim for our citizens to access the information they need by following the relevant website’s instructions. We are in a period where seconds matter. We will continue our efforts with this awareness.”
