  5. B. COMMAND & CONTROL SYSTEM • Turkish response speed to disasters is appreciated worldwide. However; there is no standardization. • It is aimed to increase the visibility and tracibility of resources, logistical elements and response teams • Better upwards and downwards communication between field units and HQ for cost&time-effective response activities.

  6. C. TEMPORARY SHELTERS MANAGEMENT SYSTEM • Currently 130.000 Syrian refugees reside in Turkish temporary shelters. • Tracking of the population and basic needs in these camps is a big problem. • It is aimed to automatize the camp management functions.
