After the first quake, aftershocks numbering in the thousands rumbled across the region, according to the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA). More than 50,000 people lost their lives in the region as buildings collapsed. Over 850,000 children remain displaced in Turkey and Syria, with over 1.9 million people seeking shelter in tents and temporary shelters in Turkey and 500,000 homeless in Syria.<\/p>\n<p>In the wake of the disaster, there has been global scrutiny of building regulations and construction practices in Turkey, with criticism of previous construction amnesties given to up to 75,000 buildings across the affected earthquake zone in southern Turkey. This webinar aims to bring together technical specialists and those that experienced the disaster firsthand in conversation to dissect the situation and share the lessons learned from the lead up to and in the aftermath of the disaster.<\/p>\n<p>Moderator:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wfeo.org\/wfeo-yefl-webinar-lessons-from-turkey-syria-earthquake-rebuilding-for-a-resilient-future#Micheala_Chan\">Micheala Chan<\/a><\/b>, Civil Engineer at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.arcadis.com\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Arcadis<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Opening Remarks: <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wfeo.org\/wfeo-yefl-webinar-lessons-from-turkey-syria-earthquake-rebuilding-for-a-resilient-future#Mustafa_Shehu\">Mustafa Shehu<\/a><\/b>, WFEO President-Elect<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Panelists:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wfeo.org\/wfeo-yefl-webinar-lessons-from-turkey-syria-earthquake-rebuilding-for-a-resilient-future#Mark_Scorer\">Mark Scorer<\/a><\/b>, Chief Engineer at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.atkinsglobal.com\/homepage\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Atkins Consultancy<\/a><\/li>\n<li><b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wfeo.org\/wfeo-yefl-webinar-lessons-from-turkey-syria-earthquake-rebuilding-for-a-resilient-future#Wafa_Qasem\">Wafa Qasem<\/a><\/b>, Shelter Associate at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.unhcr.org\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">UNHCR<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Concluding remarks:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wfeo.org\/committee-young-engineers-future-leaders-chair\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Firas Bou Diab<\/a><\/b>, Chair of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wfeo.org\/committee-young-engineers-future-leaders\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">WFEO Committee on Young Engineers \/ Future Leaders<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>For more information:<\/b><\/p>\n<p><i class=\"fa fa-internet-explorer fa-2x\" style=\"color: #115578;\"><\/i> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wfeo.org\/committee-young-engineers-future-leaders\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" style=\"color: #115578;\">WFEO Committee on Young Engineers \/ Future Leaders website<\/a><br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\n<b>Speakers Biographies<\/b><\/p>\n<p><a id=\"Micheala_Chan\"><\/a><b>Micheala Chan<\/b><br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\nMicheala Chan is a UK-based civil engineer specializing in water and resilience.
