Developing a strategic plan for a climate-resilient health system in Iran
Climate change is a long-standing natural process that has been significantly accelerated in recent decades by anthropogenic activities, resulting in profound shifts in climate patterns and escalating risks to human health. Iran, characterized by predominantly arid and semi-arid conditions, chronic water scarcity, and complex socio-economic constraints, is highly vulnerable to climate-related hazards, including droughts, floods, heatwaves, air po…

Scoping review of early warning systems in improving disaster risk outcomes
Background Between 1970 and 2019, Asia-Pacific region experienced dramatic increase in climate and weather-related disasters, with a five-fold increase in frequency compared to previous decades. Early Warning Systems (EWS) play pivotal role in mitigating impacts of such disasters, with global estimates indicating potential savings of US $3–16 billion annually. According to the World Meteorological Organization (WMO), effective EWS issued within 2…
Universal health coverage for people experiencing homelessness in disasters
One of the primary objectives of delivering healthcare services during disasters is to prevent and minimize the impact of potential diseases, reduce fatalities, and provide assistance to people, especially those who are vulnerable. However, a vulnerable group that is often overlooked in this context is homeless individuals, who tend to receive inadequate healthcare services during disasters. To address this issue, a scoping review was conducted i…
Resilience of Iranian women in natural disasters
To improve the resilience of women in natural disasters, it is necessary to address gender discrimination in policies and planning, including ensuring women's equitable access to education, property ownership, employment, and leadership positions. The root causes of discrimination in various cultural, social, political, and economic dimensions must be addressed. We recommend that disaster management policies include specific components to guarant…
Social justice
Background Injustice in societies affects all phases of disaster risk management (DRM). This scoping review aims to determine the definition and characteristics of social justice in disasters, as well as its determinants and impacts. Methods PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, Google Scholar, and Proquest were searched for relevant articles during February–July 2022. Search terms were social justice, social inequality, social equality, social equity,…
Mental health preparedness and response to epidemics focusing on Covid-19 pandemic
The opinions and experiences of managers and experts in this study revealed that an appropriate mental health response during pandemics requires preparedness before the occurrence of such crises and the implementation of suitable response strategies after the occurrence. Managers, policymakers, and decision-makers in this field should pay attention to the solutions derived from the experiences of such crises to respond more preparedly in the futu…
Deadly floods and their causal factors
Covid-19 in Homelessness
Homeless individuals are at greater risk of death due to social inequalities during Covid-19 pandemic. Strategies taken for general population to prevent the spread of Covid-19, such as social distance, staying at home, and observing personal hygiene are not possible for this group of people. This is a scoping review on articles published and other credible resources published analyze studies done on homeless people during the COVID-19 pandemic. …
War, displacement, and the best location for temporary sheltering

Moreover, managers, policymakers, decision-makers in relief agencies, humanitarian organizations, and organizations involved in sheltering of refugees due to conflict should attend to these factors to improve the process and pr…
Risk analysis of hospitals using GIS and Hazus
Pathways for advancing integrative disaster risk and resilience management in Iran
Health system plan for implementation of Paris agreement on climate change (COP 21)
Evidence-based policy-making is pivotal to develop effective programs to control the health effects of climate change. This research provided policy translation and customization of micro and macro provisions of Paris Agreement on climate change, in line with the political context of health system in Iran. Our finding will pave the ground, we envisage, for further steps towards capacity building and enhancement of resiliency of the health system,…
Evaluating the degree of physical resilience of Babol against earthqakes
The management of natural disasters requires understanding their essence, making accurate assessments, planning, and providing appropriate solutions. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the physical resilience of the 22 neighborhoods of Babol located in the north of Iran against earthquakes. The methodology of this applied research study is descriptive-analytical. In this regard, by initially studying similar national and international studi…
Setting research priorities to achieve long-term health targets in Iran
BACKGROUND: In 2015, it was estimated that the burden of disease in Iran comprised of 19 million disability-adjusted life years (DALYs), 74% of which were due to non-communicable diseases (NCDs). The observed leading causes of death were cardiovascular diseases (41.9%), neoplasms (14.9%), and road traffic injuries (7.4%). Even so, the health research investment in Iran continues to remain limited. This study aims to identify national health resea…
