Also, based on these findings of the study the most important input channels to local media outlets, on the event of natural diastors, include; the perception of the media forces, the Provincial Disaster Management Committee, dispatching groups, people information and other resources. Received data and information, after processing in in the media, will be sent to casualties, national media, relief staff and other players in the field of disaster management.
