İSTANBUL (TR) - Buildings with disaster risk throughout Turkey have been renovated since 2012 within the scope of urban transformation. Especially in Istanbul, where a possible major earthquake is expected, the work is gaining momentum day by day. According to the statement made by the Ministry of Environment and Urbanization, transformation works are underway for 118,500 residences only in Istanbul. This situation also increases the need for storage of belongings of the citizen, who needs to be temporarily moved from his current residence. Ulaş Gümüşoğlu, CEO of Depo Palas, pointed out that this need, which usually needs to be solved in a short time, opens the door to opportunists from time to time. “At the end of the urban transformation works, which take approximately 1-2 years per building to be completed, the goods must be received from the place where they are stored, ready for use and undamaged. At this point, in the selection of warehouses to be serviced, it should be ensured that the goods are kept in a professional and safe environment, and more importantly, they are insured,” he warned.

Wrong choices can cause irreversible material and intangible damage.

Stating that citizens may face great losses from time to time by acting imprudently on the way they hope to have safer housing, Stating that citizens may face great losses from time to time by acting imprudently on the way they hope to have safer housing, Ulaş Gümüşoğlu said, "In this process, the households leaving their buildings and renting out entrust a certain part of their belongings to the warehouses instead of carrying all their belongings. There are also those who want to spend this period at their cottage or with their relatives. In both conditions, the citizen wants to return to his old order as soon as possible at the end of this process, which they hope it be completed as soon as possible. However, choices made without a well-researched, loss of belongings, damage from external factors such as humidity or security in the warehouse. It exposes the citizens to irreversible material and intangible damages due to reasons such as flooding and fire.”

The entire process is secure until it is retrieved from the old address and delivered to the new address 

Ulaş Gümüşoğlu also mentioned that they have prevented grievances with the goods storage system they have developed as Depo Palas, and under the system we have created in our storage facility in 3 different locations in Istanbul and called the Warehouse Room, we receive the goods on a contract basis and store them in independent rooms belonging to the users. While we offer the opportunity to reach the goods at any time before the move, we secure the whole process until the delivery of the goods to the address with transportation and storage insurance policies. In our warehouses, there are special security systems with 24/7 camera recording, alarm systems connected to security centers, fire detectors, ultrasonic pest repellents and dehumidifiers. As long as the items remain in our warehouse, we keep them in the packages they are taken from the houses. If the goods are damaged during transportation, the cost of the damage determined by the insurance company is covered.
