Özet
In Turkiye, where devastating earthquakes are frequent, society's awareness of disaster volunteering and its propensity to contribute has increased significantly over the past 20 years. This research examines the experiences of citizen volunteers, who went to the region in the first days of the Kahramanmaras earthquakes of February 6 2023, which affected 11 provinces and claimed more than 50.000 lives. The research aims to identify areas for improvement to maximise the benefits of volunteers in disaster management planning, based on their experiences. The results of the research show that in order to increase the benefits of volunteers, there is a need for a more flexible structure that is more open to civil participation and for more comprehensive disaster response planning in terms of volunteer coordination.
