The "Disaster Education and Awareness Park" in Kadıköy will feature a 5D theater, an education hall and functional furniture that will help teach what to do in case of an emergency.

How natural disasters occur, what to do during a disaster and precautions that can be taken before and after a natural disaster will be taught through simulations as well as in practice sessions with natural disaster response team members.

In the Experience Room, the most destructive natural disasters that have ever hit Turkey and other countries around the world are simulated for the visitors in the most realistic way possible. Moreover, a six-minute educational film shows what to do during and after a destructive earthquake. The games and activities prepared by Kadıköy Municipality Search and Rescue teams also help children learn about the natural disasters that might hit Turkey.
