Therefore in this study, identifying principles and factors that must be considered in designing such a structure are concerned. In this review study by considering world selected patterns and models such as a National Disaster Management System of USA, the National Response Plan of USA and California Standardized Emergency Management, define the main levels in designing disaster management structures, determining the relationship between these levels and the method of supporting them from each other. The governing general principles in the field of designing structure of disaster management, classifying different centers for designing the administrative structure and designing tools for executive structure were obtained from world selected models. Some recommendations in order to design the executive structure of disaster respond operations at different levels were presented such as: determining the operational levels in designing the structure of disaster management, designing structures and defining communication within and between levels and assigning tasks of different levels.
