The protocol signing and delivery ceremony of the Disaster First Response Station (AFİS) containers, prepared to increase the response capacity to possible disasters, was held in Bingöl, which is among the provinces with the highest earthquake risk in Türkiye.
Preparations against possible earthquakes continue unabated in Bingöl, which is located at the intersection of three major fault zones. The protocol signing and delivery ceremony of AFİS containers, prepared to increase the response capacity to possible disasters, was held. One of the containers was delivered to the Provincial Police Department, and the others were delivered to Yayladere, Kiğı and Karlıova districts.
Pointing out that Bingöl is one of the most risky provinces of Türkiye in terms of seismicity, Bingöl Governor Cahit Çelik said, "Bingöl's biggest reality is earthquake, its biggest problem is earthquake. We are located at the intersection of two major fault lines. The stronger our pre-disaster preparation is, the stronger our disaster response capacity will be."
Stating that there are 48 different equipment in AFİS containers to be used in case of disaster, Governor Çelik said, "With these containers, which contain many materials from cutting shears to generators, we will strengthen the disaster response capacity of our districts. Our wish is that a disaster does not occur, but if it does, we can intervene as soon as possible and in the most effective way." - BINGOL
