Summary:
The February 6th Kahramanmaras events and the accompanying aftershocks were a once-in-a-century catastrophe that has greatly impacted Türkiye and Syria. This report documents perishable data so that the entire earthquake community can improve the learning opportunities from these events, thereby ultimately facilitating the mitigation of risk from similar future events. Major topics addressed in the report include tectonic setting and surface rupture, ground motions, liquefaction and its effects, performance of buildings, performance of hospitals, performance of lifelines, landslides and rock falls, impacts in Syria, and recommendations for future work. The report is a product of fruitful collaboration between Turkish researchers, EERI, and GEER.

The work of the GEER Association, in general, is based upon work supported in part by the National Science Foundation through the Geotechnical Engineering Program under Grant No. CMMI-1266418. Any opinions, findings, and conclusions or recommendations expressed in this material are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the views of the NSF. The GEER Association is made possible by the vision and support of the NSF Geotechnical Engineering Program Directors: Dr. Richard Fragaszy and the late Dr. Cliff Astill. GEER members also donate their time, talent, and resources to collect time-sensitive field observations of the effects of extreme events.
