Fire Following Earthquake—The Potential in Istanbul

Scawthorn, C.

Fire following earthquake is a little recognized risk in seismic regions with significant wood building inventories. Methods exist for quantifying this risk, and examples are provided in this chapter for San Francisco, Istanbul and Montreal. There are many opportunities for reducing this risk, and examples are provided regarding reducing fire station vulnerability and improving emergency firefighting water supplyWater supply. Once accomplished however, vigilance is required to maintain these mitigation measures.
