Natural and Environmental Disaster Reduction in the Middle East: an agenda for engineers and UNESCO
Earthquakes in the Mediterranean region have provided a rallying point for professionals and policy makers throughout the region and windows of opportunity since 1988 for multinational collaboration through programs and projects across a geographically, culturally, and technically diverse region.
Recent programs have served as catalysts for collaboration in the larger Mediterranean region, including:Turkey, Lebanon, Cyprus, Syria, Israel, Jordan, Palestinian Authority, Egypt, Saudi
Arabia, Kuwait, Libya, Algeria, Morocco, Tunisia, Portugal, Spain, Greece, Italy, France, Albania, and the former Yugoslavia, along with participating observers from Iran and Russia.
