Our Vocational School hosted a significant educational event aimed at increasing our students' awareness of disasters and developing correct behavioral models for emergencies.
The training, held on Friday, February 27, 2026, featured instructors Uzay AYYAR, Ela TANIR, and Ferdi ALPAKLI from the Bartın Provincial Disaster and Emergency Management Directorate (AFAD) as speakers. During the session, students were reminded of the reality that Turkey is an earthquake-prone country, and fundamental precautions against disasters were shared in detail.
Disaster Preparedness Plan: The importance of emergency planning within the family.
Evacuation and Assembly Areas: Identifying safe zones in residential areas.
Drop-Cover-Hold On: Life-saving intervention techniques during an earthquake.
Disaster Kit Preparation: Essential materials needed for the first 72 hours of an emergency.
In addition to theoretical knowledge, our students had the opportunity to experience how to act during a potential evacuation through practical demonstrations provided by the instructors. The event concluded with an interactive Q&A session, emphasizing that being prepared for disasters is not a choice, but a necessity.
We would like to thank our Bartın Provincial AFAD instructors for their contributions and our students for their enthusiastic participation.
