The earthquake occurred at a time of political instability in Turkey, with large strikes by public sector workers taking place just 11 days earlier.[2] The disaster was preceded by a number of smaller earthquakes of up to 5.1 magnitude, the last of which had occurred on 26 September 1995.[2] This resulted in a number of residents deciding to sleep outside their homes and possibly resulted in less deaths and injuries in the 1 October quake.[2] When the quake occurred, 90 people were killed and more than 200 injured in the disaster.[2]
In total, 2,473 homes suffered major damage, 1,218 moderate damage and 2,076 slight damage.[4] The Turkish government responded by constructing 5,000 new homes for those affected by the disaster.[4]
