Crisis Management in Faulting and Earthquake (Case Study: Silakhor plain)

BackgroundEarthquake as a natural phenomenon always has caused death, destruction and serious damage throughout history. With effective operation and appropriate planning to predict and prevent earthquake side effects, crisis mangers can present precise scenarios in order to control the process and also enhance their performance in disasters for betterment of handling.MethodsThis research is done based on the longstanding regional seismology, geotechnical data, seism tectonics and field operations. Information layers and geotechnical characteristic of the region were provided and evaluated by GIS. In the end, the results of risk analysis were analyzed.FindingsDoroud fault was activated based on the recent earthquakes occurrence in its vicinity, which was accompanied by geotechnical phenomena such as liquefaction and landslides. Sometimes the movements and debris block the roads.ConclusionThe data and their analysis show that there will be faulting and earthquake in plain of silakhor. In recent years, large earthquakes confirm the critical role of crisis management components in the earthquake control and risk reduction. So, serious measures and principles should be taken in order to prevent and minimize risk of earthquake in the region.
