Learn how to undertake effective repairs to lightly damaged earthquake-affected buildings.

This module provides participants with an understanding on the types of light damage that can occur in building during an earthquake and allows an opportunity to identify the types of light repairs that are needed to bring buildings up to liveable conditions and standards. Through this module participants will learn the necessary skills and tools to carry out light repair work on earthquake buildings, including developing Bill of Quantities (BoQ) and Scope of Work (SoW). The module is contextualised for the 2023 Türkiye-Syria earthquake response.

The module is a live session that will take place on Zoom. The facilitated module uses participatory methods and it is expected that learners will participate in discussions and activities in order to deepen their understanding of the concepts that are discussed. Participants will be offered opportunities to share relevant personal experiences and reflections to benefit their own and others' learning.

*Note that the module is short and is intended to provide an introduction to the topic. The key messages document that will be shared at the end of the session provides a summary of all of the key points as well as further learning that they can undertake after the module to deepen their understanding of the concepts that are introduced.
