Disaster Risk
Disaster risk is a product of a combination of hazard, exposure, and vulnerability. Governance in the health system is a multifaceted sphere, with political, economic, and legal dimensions. The probabilistic natural disaster hazard zoning maps are provided through intensity assessment of mulltihazards. This provided a preliminary basis for geo-hazard risk mapping in Iran, including the vulnerability and popullation exposure. The most improtant geo-hazards involved in this study are earthquake, flood, landslide, and landsubsidence
Hazards:
Iran is in a region prone to many natural and manmade hazards. Hazards such as earthquakes, drought, and floods are the most important causes of death and economic damages.
Disasters:
Iran is a disaster-prone country that has experienced more than 250 natural disasters over the past century, including floods, earthquakes, droughts, storms, and others. 1 These disasters have affected more than 60 million people, killing at least 158,350, and causing an estimated damage of more than US$53 billion. 2 In the same period (1922–2021), Tehran and its neighboring provinces (Alborz, Markazi, Qazvin, and Qom) experienced 28 natural disasters, mainly floods and earthquakes, affecting around 11 million people, killing at least 55,769, and causing economic damages of about US$22 billion
Catastrophes:
The quakes struck in quick succession, with the more powerful one measuring a magnitude of 6.4, the United States Geological Survey reported. Iranian news media said that the epicenters were near four smaller cities north of Tabriz: Ahar, Heris, Mehraban and Varzaqan.
