The main goal of Istanbul Seismic Risk Mitigation and Emergency Preparedness Project (ISMEP) is to assist the Government of Turkey in mitigating the seismic risks associated with the cultural and historical property (heritage) in Istanbul and to further strengthen the capacity for pro-active measures in order to mitigate the damaging and devastating effects of future earthquakes on cultural and historical property (heritage buildings) and other historical and cultural structures and assets in Turkey such as, museums. This is expected to be achieved through inventorization and earthquake performance evaluation of structures of cultural and historical value in Istanbul owned or used by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism.
