TI  - The Türki?ye earthquake sequence of February 2023: A longitudinal study report by EEFIT
AV  - public
N2  - On 6 February 2023 at 4:17 am local time, a large area in southeastern Türkiye and northern
Syria was hit by an Mw 7.8 earthquake, which was followed by an Mw 7.5 earthquake at 1:24
pm local time, causing the loss of more than 50,000 lives, some 100,000 injuries and
significant damage to buildings and infrastructure, estimated to be in the range of 84.1 billion
USD for Türkiye alone. The largest earthquake in Türkiye since the deadly 1939 Erzincan
earthquake with however much larger losses, the sequence immediately attracted the
attention of the global post-disaster reconnaissance/engineering communities. This included
the Earthquake Engineering Field Investigation Team (EEFIT), who, within one week of the
event, gathered a team with 30 people from academia and industry in the UK (19), Türkiye
(5), New Zealand (1), Hungary (1), Bulgaria (1), Greece (1) and USA (1) with two support
members from the UK and the Netherlands, to study the events and their impacts, and also to
develop suggestions to reduce the existing vulnerabilities in the future. The team was
organised in the form of 6 working groups as shown below, which were (1) strong ground
motions and seismotectonics, (2) geotechnics, (3) structures, (4) infrastructure, (5) remote
sensing and (6) relief response and recovery.
