Part 11/14:
The devastating earthquake in Turkey-Syria, with a magnitude of 7.8 followed by a second massive quake, illustrates the magnitude of destruction that can ensue. These events cause immeasurable human suffering, damage infrastructure, and challenge emergency response mechanisms.
Nevertheless, seismologists and engineers focus on resilience: improving building codes, enhancing early-warning systems, and educating communities on safety protocols. Museums and memorials serve as poignant reminders of the severity of these natural disasters but also provide hope that, through learning and adaptation, future losses can be minimized.
