It also aims to determine deficiencies of the current situation for disaster preparedness. </p> <p class="z">Material and Methods: A control list was formed by the researchers after literature review. The control list consists of a total of 62 criteria under seven headings. The control list was delivered to and collected from three related institutions via official correspondence. During evaluation, criterion were classified as ‘‘number of proper criteria’’, ‘‘number of improper criteria’’ and ‘‘number of unanswered criteria’’. </p> <p class="z">Results: We found that sensitivity analysis on waterworks has not been done and disaster regions were not divided into sub-regions. No criterion in chemical stores in the city heading was available. According to the answers of the three institutions; the number of unanswered criteria number was 14, while proper criteria number was 31 in total and improper criteria number was 17 in total. </p> <p class="z">Conclusion: It was determined that 17 criteria which are in control list were not available by the related institutions.
