The Necessity of Discrimination of Earthquakes from Explosions in Order to Assist the Disaster Management

Sudden events such as tectonic earthquakes, flood, storm, volcano and explosion types (air, land, underground and explosions in the water), nuclear, chemical, (in mining, different industry sectors or military programs) and. .. cause crisis especially in urban areas. In managing such disasters, we should be able to normalize the situation in the shortest possible time delay. Because of the proximity to mines or nuclear plants or places capable of explosion, some of the incidents caused disaster by human agents and heating up the rumormongers’ market.Unfortunately, such complex crisis without comprehensive investigation fuels the falsehood news and increases crisis. The use of nuclear energy also generates uncertainty, news making and crisis in public opinion. News making such as several earthquakes especially from 1392 (earthquake in Bushehr, Sistan and Baluchistan and Isfahan, etc.) have occurred because of several nuclear tests in different parts of the country. This review study using different resources, documents and forms addresses the difference between earthquakes and explosions. For demystification, use of methods such as the discrimination of earthquake from the explosion is done by explosion seismology experts and with the help of modern tools and levers of mass media in crisis situations, could possibly manage some crisis related to explosions and reduce disorders in the society or minimize their magnification. The success rate of reducing crisis depends on the level of socialization of the society by various and effective methods.
