Estimation of the damage before and after an earthquake requires data collection and its analysis, as well. There have been many studies that performed that kind of analysis. However, the previous studies only represent a particular period of time. There is not a good infrastructure that can perform dynamic risk analysis based on the new data collected and changing circumstances. To this end, this project aims to build an infrastructure that can enable to perform a long-term up to date analysis. In the project, it was established updateable and shareable infrastructure risk analysis for the Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality Disaster Coordination Center, Disaster and Emergency Plan, with ELER (Earthquake Loss Estimation Routine) using web-based GIS tools. ELER software that performs the loss of life and damage distribution analysis enables the implementation of disaster plans according to the pre-earthquake scenarios and post-earthquake damage distribution and amplitude results. For this purpose, web-based data entry interface of the desktop software ELER is prepared and the required update of the data set is provided. Relational database between Marmara Sea Bathymetry, 3 D terrain elevation data and geology, building data was created. Web services were given the opportunity to be updated to these data online. End products will be bringing into service to users / administrators with web-based mapping software. As a result of this project; after an earthquake in Istanbul, life loss, injuries and the quantity of the damaged buildings were quantified as soon as possible. Five-level (full, heavy, medium, light, undamaged) structural damage analyzes were done, number of people who needs post-earthquake emergency shelter was identified, and the amount of economic loss was calculated. Therefore, under the coordination of IBB units, post-earthquake intervention regions, size of the damage, etc. holistic contribution were provided, rapid damage assessment after the earthquake was made with the established system and vulnerability risk of earthquakes in the quantitative environment has become interrogable.
