Fantastic exhibition, and  a very informative seminar, It was a shame that so few people attended. It was set up in English to inform us foreigners here about how to deal with earthquakes, after all most of the Local people are aware of this already. Also good to meet Akut volunteers who were able to show us how they help in these type of situations. Booklets were prepared to provide a guide on to how to cope and more importantly how to prepare for the devastation that earthquakes can cause.Fig have copies for those that want them, they will be available at their coffee morning It was a reassuring seminar which showed how Fethiye is provided for and to demonstrate that being forewarned is to forearmed. They may run another seminar and exhibition in a few months time. I would urge people to go it could just save your life. Many thanks to the organisers a very professional and worthwhile event..
