Disaster Preparedness and Risk Management

The Elazığ Provincial Disaster Risk Reduction Plan (İRAP) is an important roadmap aimed at making our province safer, more resilient and more sustainable against disasters. Within the scope of the Plan, the risks of landslides, rockfalls, avalanches and floods/inundations, earthquakes in particular, have been assessed, and the responsibilities of public institutions, local governments, universities, professional organizations and non-governmental organizations for reducing these risks have been determined.

As the Elazığ Chamber of Commerce and Industry, we continue to support efforts aimed at increasing the disaster preparedness capacity of our members, ensuring business continuity, strengthening industrial and commercial infrastructure, spreading disaster awareness and developing inter-institutional cooperation.

For a disaster-resilient Elazığ, it is of great importance that all our institutions and organizations act in cooperation, both for the protection of life safety and for ensuring economic sustainability. In this respect, Elazığ İRAP serves as a strategic guide shaping the future of our province.
