Özet

Climate change and the deterioration of natural environments cause the frequency of natural disasters and an increase in damages in Turkey as well as around the world. There are two systems in particular for the protection of society from natural disaster damage. First, the state compensates the damage with the taxes of society and holds the whole citizenry fully responsible for the damage/span>. In the second system, the state does not guarantee the reconstruction of buildings other than first aid, search, and rescue in natural disasters.
Generally, insurance against natural disasters, which occur frequently, is compulsory for some and optional for others. In the case of insurance obligations, there is a large subsidy from the state.After the earthquake disaster that affected Kahramanmaraş and 10 provinces on February 6, 2023, compulsory earthquake insurance and optional earthquake insurance applications were evaluated in terms of insurance law, general conditions, damage, and suggestions
