The 1st Joint Professional Committees Meeting of Kırıkkale Chamber of Commerce and Industry for the year 2023 was held under the chairmanship of Board President Ahmet Varlı. Members of 13 professional committees attended the meeting.

In accordance with Article 26 of the Chamber's transaction regulations, which states that "Joint professional committee meetings are held every six months, in March and September of each year," the first joint professional committee meeting of Kırıkkale Chamber of Commerce and Industry for the year 2023 was held under the chairmanship of Board President Ahmet Varlı. Committee members, who constitute 13 professional committees, attended the meeting along with council members. The agenda of the meeting included the devastating earthquake disaster that caused significant destruction and loss of life.

Highlighting that the entire Turkey is located in an earthquake zone, Board President Varlı informed the committee members about the post-disaster efforts. He stated that the 9th Professional Committee, consisting of Architects and Engineers, has conducted a study on how prepared Kırıkkale is for a potential earthquake and the resilience of existing structures. Varlı emphasized the importance of taking precautions before disasters occur. Stressing the need to establish container cities in each city based on its population size to be used in times of disaster, Varlı pointed out that when a city experiences a destructive disaster, the affected individuals can be relocated to these container cities located in the same city or neighboring provinces. This way, the chaos and negative consequences experienced in the early stages of a disaster can be prevented. Committee members also expressed their opinions on the subject during the meeting.
