Setting an Agenda for Technology Professionals to Overcome the Challenges of Earthquakes

This paper aims to explore the challenges and opportunities associated with earthquakes and how technology and engineering management professionals might contribute to enhancing the resilience of countries in the face of earthquakes. The study presents the Great East Japan Earthquake (2011) and Turkey-Syria Earthquake (2023). The exploration of these earthquakes provides valuable insights into the challenges experienced at social, environmental, and economic levels. By summarizing the key roles of information system technologies in earthquakes, the paper invites technology professionals who could consider how their research could develop and implement technologies so that countries might build strong earthquake resilience.
