Saving Lives In The Turkish Earthquake Zone
SAP News, March 3rd, 2023
In the early hours of February 6, 2023, two massive earthquakes and multiple aftershocks struck southeast Turkiye and northern Syria.
Less than a day later, SAP employee Sebastian Hodapp and others from the volunteer search and rescue organization @fire were on the ground in the disaster zone to help locate and rescue victims trapped under rubble.
'We're a private organization, so we're flexible and can deploy to wherever we're needed fast. Every minute is precious in the search for earthquake victims,' says Hodapp, who has served as a volunteer firefighter in his hometown for more than 20 years and joined @fire 12 years ago to use his skills to help save lives abroad, too
