“…It is usually the secondary events that they trigger, such as building collapse, fires, tsunamis, and volcanoes that actually result in human disaster. Building collapses occur owing to a number of hazards that are either natural (earthquakes and avalanches), man-made (structural deficiencies and gas explosions) or intentional (bombing and terrorist attacks) [3].…”

“…The success of the whole search-and-rescue mission eventually depends on accurate and rapid location of survivors within the collapsed structures. There are primarily three mainstream search methods for locating survivors of a major disaster [3]: Physical search consisting of both visual and vocal approach, Canine search using sniffer dogs, and Electronic search using various electronic devices.…”

Objective: The objective of this study was to determine whether coordination of prehospital emergency health services and Disaster and Emergency Management Presidency (DEMP) and being prepared for disasters, such as building collapses, allow quick evaluation and fast intervention. Methods: The information flow, hierarchy, treatment, and rehabilitation processes, and rescue organization and planning during the rescue attempt for 35 people who needed help due to this building collapse were reviewed. Results: Of the 43 people who lived in this 8-story building, 35 were inside the building during the collapse; 40% of them were assessed as injured and 60% as exitus. Almost two-thirds (64.3%) of the injured individuals who were rescued were women. The mean duration until rescue was 330 (57.0-512.0) min. Conclusions: Leading and important factors that can increase the success rate in search and rescue interventions are informing official authorities as first early warning by individuals who can clearly define the situation, early security measures by security forces arriving before the health and search-rescue teams, accurate identification of estimated numbers of injured victims, and identifying and informing appropriate hospitals which victims rescued from the debris will be transferred to there.
