Abstract :

The aim of this study to examine relief eliminations of accidental damage that is caused by post-disaster and the adaptation activities to maket the victims to continue their normal lives. The reliefs are discussed within the example of the reliefs made to after the Van Earthquake. Van Earthquake was chosen as an example because of the fact that it is the most recent major disaster in Turkey. In the examination of the reliefs conducted after the Van Earthquaqe, Prime Minister Disaster and Emergency Management Presidency data, some reports prepared after the disaster, and several newspaper articles were used. Altough there are some shortcomings in both relief conducted after the eartquake and the legal legislations constituting a basis for these reliefs, there was a remarkable improvement in the relief studies as far as the previous examples are concerned. But in order to be prepared for the possible disasters in the future, there are many things to be done. Especially legal framework for post disaster reliefs should be well-determined and these relief activities should not be left instantaneous administrative decisions.
