Short summary
Refugee populations are often unaccounted for in population models used in earthquake fatality estimations. This paper calculates and compares fatality estimations produced with and without refugee populations in southeastern Turkey. Refugee populations added non-negligible contributions to earthquake fatalities at four of five fault locations, increasing total fatalities by 7–27 %. These findings show the importance of including refugee statistics in earthquake fatality estimations.
