Following the two Turkish earthquakes of the 6th Feb 2023, TorqAid has prepared its customised Humanitarian & Development Bibliography and Agency Directory to provide a toolkit of useful resources for the humanitarian practitioner on the ground. The Agency Directory highlights ReliefWeb and ACAPS as key resources, together with BBC and Al-Jazeera news services. The Bibliography also highlights earthquake lessons learnt from both ALNAP and DEC articles. The Turkish earthquakes are now covered as the main complex emergency/crisis case study (the other being Ukraine) in the 2023 PDRM training program.

All the key 2023 jpeg versions of key TorqAid diagrams are now up, and can be found on the Resources Page. These diagrams are two versions apiece of the Disaster Risk Management Cycle (DRMC) and Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) diagram; the Disaster Risk Management (DRM) Planning diagram; and the Project Management Cycle (PMC)

Topic 10 of the 2023 PDRM program focuses in on DRM & Climate Change. It includes material produced by the IPCC, COP 26 & 27, UNFCCC, Climate Action Tracker (CAT), UNEP, Climate Council of Australia, Alliance of World Scientists, and the BBC.

Enclosed is a resume for Chris Piper in his role as Global Humanitarian Practitioner (GHP) and Teacher/Trainer/Facilitator.
