The earthquake creates a crisis.In this context, the first stage of the search and rescue work that preceded human life and then the work towards the reception of accommodation and rescue appears as the responsibility of the state.This process is an instantly developing state activity outside of routine and requires a large organization, and it can be a problem in terms of crisis management in terms of states that do not perform risk management in advance.Therefore, rescue activities are important in terms of the country’s image of how a state is prepared for natural disasters, whether it has done healthy plans in advance, whether it can provide coordination and equipment with sufficient qualified personnel in the intervention processes and whether it has the power to get out of the crisis without receiving external aid.In this sense, it is possible to talk about the need for a good crisis management for a good image of a country.In this way, the international media has a key role.In this study, the largest earthquake in recent history in Turkey, the van earthquake, specifically, has been attempted to reveal how the government of Turkey in this crisis is understood in international written media and how the perception of Turkey is formed.According to the study, the main earthquake was the 23th of October 2011 and the 25th of October 2011 in 63 newspapers from 27 countries.Due to the time of the earthquake and the country of the earthquake in the first stage in Japan after the intense news release in Germany the most news about the subject came out, rescue and aid work intensive news in Germany and Austria the news about the structural problems that made the earthquake a catastrophe, and also the news that Turkey did not seek foreign aid, including Israel and NATO, often appeared.The study finds that Turkey is not prepared for earthquakes in terms of sub-structure, that Turkey is not prepared for earthquakes in terms of risk management and that it is structurally lacking in terms of risk management, and that there is a sense that Turkey has a power and accumulation of knowledge that can a great deal of crisis management in a large-scale disaster without international assistance.
