Disaster Management in Educational Institutions

Summary/Abstract: The rapidly increasing population throughout the world and the unplanned and non-engineered construction that has emerged in parallel with this have increased the impact of disasters on human life over time. Unfortunately, despite the rapid development of technology and the increased use of artificial intelligence, both unplanned construction in old residential areas and the lack of adequate engineering infrastructures of new structures further increase the negative effects of disasters on human life. One of the areas where these negative effects show themselves strongly is the education sector. Mistakes made in the selection of school places, inadequacy of structures in terms of engineering, teachers' and students' approaches to disaster management, socio-psychological processes account for only a few of the negative effects of disasters on education. In this study, in addition to the negative effects of disasters on the education sector, disaster management in educational institutions has been discussed in detail, giving examples of what should be done during and after a disaster, and recommendations have been presented on what should be done to reduce these negative effects. While this was being done, the authors were working in the Beylikdüzü district of Istanbul (Şehit Mehmet Şefik Şefektemlioğlu Kindergarten, Fatma Şensoy Elementary School, Şehit Bilal Elementary School, Dr. Ayla Savaş Secondary School) schools were considered as a sample area. The findings obtained have made important inferences that can guide educational institutions to create a more effective disaster preparedness and response strategy.
