A 6.2 magnitude earthquake struck Istanbul in April 2025, causing panic but fortunately resulting in no reported deaths and minimal building damage. However, concerns have arisen regarding Turkiye’s preparedness for future quakes due to poor construction practices, negligence, and mismanagement, especially given the country’s location on three tectonic plates in a seismically active zone. As the community reflects on this event, many are questioning the effectiveness of current measures to handle large earthquakes.
