Does organizational resilience provide the conditions for preparing hospitals against earthquakes?

Abdollah Shahdadnezhad

Abstract


One of the problems that has always threatened the lives of human societies for many centuries is the occurrence of disasters and accidents that, in case of ignorance and lack of preparation, cause irreparable damage to various dimensions of human life, including residential, social, economic, environmental, psychological and so on. Iran is one of the developing countries that, due to its special spatial-spatial structures, has always faced many natural disasters and is among the most vulnerable places in the world to natural disasters. Based on the results, organizational resilience can have a significant impact on the preparedness of hospitals for earthquakes and reducing casualties.
