The 6 February 2023 Kahramanmaraş (Türkiye) earthquakes are recorded as the world's most destructive disasters in 2023. These devastating earthquakes in Türkiye and Syria account for two-thirds of the total number of disaster fatalities in 2023. A total of 11 provinces in Türkiye were severely affected by the epicentre of these earthquakes. These earthquakes, which were declared a level 4 disaster requiring an international appeal for assistance for Türkiye, caused devastation far beyond the country's capacity to cope. In addition to the response activities of local and central government, the processes by which people coped with the disaster have become one of the world's exemplary studies in the field of disaster management. Although different impacts are observed in each society, differences in the vulnerability and coping capacities of disaster victims have been identified according to disaster resilience. In this study, the disaster vulnerability and coping capacity of the disaster-stricken community are evaluated with examples from the field experience of the author's disaster field studies conducted in the region immediately after the Kahramanmaraş earthquakes. As a result of the study, policy, legislation and resilience recommendations will be presented in integrated disaster management processes for the creation of disaster-resilient communities worldwide.
