People’s encounter with disasters is as old as human history. Situations that occurred in areas where disasters occurred in the past are also occurring today in the form of similar events. However, the effects of disasters do not produce similar results everywhere in the world. The most important factor in this is the differences in the conclusions people draw from the events they experience and the frequency of disasters. A striking example of this is the Ms=7.4 magnitude Eastern Marmara (Gölcük) earthquake that occurred on August 17, 1999, where we lost approximately 16,000 people. Another important point is that human-induced disasters are also added to the disasters that occur today; for example, fires, nuclear explosions, and global warming that occur for various reasons can actually be considered disasters and negatively affect human life with their results. This Program is a field that is intertwined with health, civil defense, first aid, physical education, communication technologies, engineering, and biology. The aim of this department is to train innovative, investigative and entrepreneurial experts who are equipped with the knowledge and skills related to their profession to carry out and manage all kinds of loss reduction activities, especially coordination, in the event of a disaster, such as pre-disaster training, awareness-raising, project development and other measures.
