Shannon Malloy’s Case Study on the Türkiye-Syria Earthquake

In this case study, Malloy examines the management of the magnitude 7.8 Türkiye-Syria Earthquake, which took place in February 2023. Other than a detailed analysis on the event’s epidemiological facts, Malloy also presents how disaster management and communication efforts were made ineffective by Türkiye’s centralized authoritarian government due to concerns over the earthquake’s political effects.
