dc.description.abstractAim: Disasters occur very frequently in Türkiye. As in other parts of the world, disasters affect some groups more than others in Türkiye. This study aims to reveal the experiences of elderly individuals who experienced the Kahramanmaraş earthquake in the disaster area and tent city. Method: The study was conducted using phenomenological design, which is one of the qualitative research methods. In the study, face-to-face interviews were conducted with twelve elderly individuals with disaster experience, and the transcriptions were coded by experts. Results: As a result of the code analysis, three themes were created by the authors. These themes are challenges and needs, lessons learned in disasters, and seeking support. Conclusion: This study revealed that elderly individuals face more difficulties and are more affected by disasters than others. Therefore, it emphasizes that elderly individuals should be included in integrated disaster management processes to increase their resistance to disasters.
