To plan for organizing and , resource allocating to manage influencing factors on hazards hazards, it is necessary to apply scientific and practical procedures to deal with uncertain nature of natural hazards. It is also necessary to specify training, research, equipment developments, logistics, structural and operational strategies in order to manage four main stages of hazards (prevention, preparedness, response and reconstruction).
In this regard, Center of Excellence for Risk Management and Natural Hazards was established in 2019 with the cooperation of Faculty of Agricultural Engineering, department Natural Resources and Civil Engineering of Isfahan University of Technology, Faculty of Engineering and Technology of Tehran University and Faculty of Engineering of Mazandaran University in Iran.
Following the Aims and Scopes of the center, the five-year program of Center of Excellence for Risk Management and Natural Hazards includes:
A) Active participation in expanding the frontiers of knowledge, fundamentals and practical issues in the field of risk management of natural hazards and raising scientific position of Iran in the world;
B) Increasing knowledge in recognizing the types of natural hazards and their impacts on health of human beingsand providing solutions to control and reduce them;
C) Increasing level of between-university and international activities to increase group activities instead in the field of risk management and natural disasters;
D) Provide necessary knowledge to assess risks of natural disasters and provide principled and scientific solutions to reduce financial and human losses;
E) Efforts to cultivate efficient scientific forces in the field of research and implementation of study projects related to the management of natural hazards and disasters;
F) Introducing the scientific hub for risk and natural hazards management as a valid and first-rate scientific reference in Iran for researchers, students and employers;
G) Providing appropriate solutions in order to localize the knowledge produced in the scientific hub of risk management and natural hazards;
H) Strengthening scientific and international relationships, science development and expanding the frontiers of knowledge and publishing scientific articles, participating in joint projects and planning advanced research in cooperation with scientific centers abroad.
The purpose of forming Center of Excellence for Risk Management and Natural Hazards is to use the scientific capacity of the country's universities in identifying and managing natural hazards in four levels of prevention, preparedness, response and reconstruction and in three sections of education, research and executive decision-making based on as follows:
- Increasing and expanding risk education and risk awareness for safety culture at university, public and managerial levels of Iran to prevent and control natural disasters;
- Expanding and strengthening coherent and focused scientific and research studies in order to identify and reduce the effects of natural hazards according to the prioritization of hazards in each region of Iran.
