Course Goal / Objective
As it is known, there are many types of natural disasters. Earthquakes, landslides, fires, floods, tornadoes, avalanches, droughts, colds, floods, sinkholes, fires, volcanoes, dams break and industrial explosions and all other natural disasters cause deadly consequences. In addition, environmental problems arise from disasters. Every year, thousands of people die in natural disasters. In fact, there is a risk of losing the lives of millions of people in natural disasters that have a stronger effect. It is known that there are many regions with earthquakes both in the world and in our country. After a strong earthquake, the loss of life and property is very high. Loss of life and property can be eliminated or minimized by knowing the precautions to be taken in advance against natural disasters and taking the necessary precautions. Therefore, the aim of this course is to teach the causes of earthquakes, landslides, fires, floods, tornadoes, avalanches, droughts, colds, floods, sinkholes, fires, volcanoes, dams break and industrial explosions and all other natural disasters. In the light of this information, it is to teach how to take the necessary precautions against disasters to the maximum extent and also to teach the precautions to be taken against environmental problems caused by natural disasters.
