Disasters are events that affect normal life and require constant preparedness. It is an area that requires a special management approach as the results cannot be fully predicted. Disaster emergency management is a management field with its own characteristics that covers before, during and after the disaster and is also considered as integrated disaster management. The main thing in the pre-disaster period is to focus on awareness-raising and prevention activities. Post-disaster studies focus on activities such as recovery, repair, damage compensation and psychological support. These two periods of the process correspond mostly to the tasks that are under the responsibility of the central administration and that it can perform. The disaster sequence process is very closely related to the local government structure where the incident occurs. Therefore, disaster sequence management structure is an important issue in the success of intervention efforts. In this respect, the impact of local structure on disaster response efforts is also very vital. The aim of this study is to compare the disaster response capacity of local governments and the local disaster response capacity of the central administration through a sample municipality, focusing only on the intervention phase of the integrated disaster management process. Based on this, in this study, after the concepts of the field are given, information is given about the structure in Türkiye, the role and duties of local governments within this structure are revealed by examining legal texts. The structures of the examined institutions in their laws were examined, and the disaster emergency response data in the province of Gaziantep were evaluated by examining the documents and reports prepared for the activities of these institutions. When the number of response personnel, response equipment, machinery parks and other logistics facilities of the local administration unit and the local unit of the central administration are examined together, it is evaluated that the local administration unit is much faster and more effective in disaster response efforts. A structure that gives more authority to local governments in disaster response efforts has been proposed [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The cultivated oat (Avena sativa L. and A. byzantina Coch.) is an important annual cereal and forage plant. A large collection of historical oat landraces gathered from different diversity centers is maintained in various seed banks. A historical oat collection consisted of 174 Turkish landraces were evaluated for agronomic performance and mineral nutrient content. The experiment was arranged in an augmented design with six replications of 10 check cultivars and 29 landraces in each block. The most important finding of the study was that the landraces manifested a wide range of variation in all agronomic traits and that some historical landraces outperformed the check cultivars. Since it was dry for the grain‐filling period (GFP) in 2019, some drought‐tolerant landraces were identified. In addition, the top 10 landraces for yield and mineral content were also identified based on each year's performance as well as on the 3‐yr average. The landrace TL69/PI411401 was found to be prominent for high calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg), phosphorus (P), boron (B), and zinc (Zn) content; TL86/PI167378 for Ca, P, potassium (K), and iron (Fe) contents; and TL71/PI411414 for Ca, P, B, and Zn content. Core Ideas: Agronomic performance and minerals content of 174 landraces from Turkey were evaluated.Oat landraces manifested a wide range of variation, and some perform higher than check cultivars.Grain‐filling period was dry in the 2019 growing season revealing a set of drought‐tolerant oat landraces.The panel of 174 oat landraces evaluated here indicated to be an important genetic resource for oat breeding.
