Abstract: Two recent earthquakes—both disasters of great magnitude—were met with worldwide attention and international response. The 1999 Marmara earthquake in northwestern Turkey caused massive human losses and damages estimated to be in the billions of dollars, and thus achieved worldwide attention. The most recent, 2010, earthquake in the Caribbean island of Haiti garnered headline news because of its devastation. In both cases, medical and nursing response teams crossed international borders to help.
