An assessment of multi-hazard events in post-earthquake temporary shelters: the case of the February 6, 2023 earthquakes in TürkiyeDeniz Ozturk, YaseminPeker, IskenderEarthquaketemporary shelterpost-disaster housingmulti-hazardsaccommodation challengesdisaster riskT & uumlrkiyeThe 6 February 2023 earthquakes caused catastrophic losses across 11 provinces of T & uuml;rkiye. To meet urgent shelter needs, extensive tent and container settlements were rapidly established; over time, however, these sites proved highly vulnerable to multi-hazard events. This study investigates the spatial and temporal distribution and impacts of fires, floods, and storms on temporary shelters over a two-year period following the earthquakes. In total, 306 events were identified across eight provinces - 155 fires, 147 floods, and 4 storms - damaging 5,075 containers and 420 tents, and causing 16 deaths and 67 injuries. Seasonal factors played a critical role of these hazards. As the earthquakes occurred during winter, the region's cold, rainy conditions led to frequent flooding and numerous heating-related tent fires, particularly in winter and early spring. March recorded the highest number of events due to intense rainfall, storms, and elevated heating demand. Vulnerable groups - including children, workers, and refugees - were disproportionately affected, with children accounting for six fire-related fatalities. Overall, the results highlight the seasonal nature of multi-hazard events in temporary shelter areas and emphasise the need for climate-sensitive planning, hazard mitigation measures, and improved safety standards in post-disaster temporary settlements.TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD2026Articlehttps://rdlopen.rawdatalibrary.net/r/gumushane/16825https://doi.org/10.1080/17477891.2026.27159921747-7891enENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS-HUMAN AND POLICY DIMENSIONSinfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessinfo:eu-repo/semantics/articlehttps://gumushane-rdlopen.rawdatalibrary.net/tr/items/gumushane/16825
