This cross-sectional study was carried in 2011 and all of the hospitals which were located in the northern areas of Iran were investigated through the census method. The data collection instruments were self-administered Managers' Awareness Questionnaire (40 items) and a 141-item checklist. The mean percentage score of hospitals in management of the unanticipated disasters program in the hospital was good. The mean score of managers' awareness of the hospital status was moderate. With the increase in managers' awareness, the preparedness of the hospitals significantly increased (r = 0.73, P < 0.001).
The findings showed the moderate preparedness of the hospitals in the Northern provinces to deal with disasters.
