Iran, in terms of disasters, is among the top 10 countries in the world. Therefore, timely coordination and provision of rescue, transport, and treatment services after disasters are of particular importance. This study aimed to investigate and provide a short report on the provision of rescue, transport, and treatment services after the 2017 earthquake in Kermanshah.
This was a review and a descriptive study conducted using the analysis of documents and news published on valid Iranian sites and reports of some service providers in 2017 after the earthquake in Kermanshah.
The most important strengths of post-earthquake services were the military force's cooperation, people's support, sending the popular aid and donations to earthquake areas, and the tremendous national support and religious sympathy among the people. Sending the popular aid and donations was such that they resulted in the blockage of communication routes, heavy traffic on the roads, and disrupted the relief and rescue efforts process. However, the most important weaknesses in the provision of services after this earthquake were the lack of preparedness of the government systems and the lack of orderly management for appropriate assistance and relief and, therefore, there was an inappropriate distribution of popular aid and donations among the earthquake victims.
Proper coordination and service delivery after unexpected events in Iran have a considerable distance to reaching the desired point. Unfortunately, similar problems had also occurred in other earthquakes such as the Bam and Rudbar earthquakes. The repetition of these problems indicates the authorities' lack of readiness and commitment to troubleshoot weaknesses in their emergency response plan. Therefore, it is necessary for government officials to have more preparedness in all related affairs and aspects. (Disaster Med Public Health Preparedness. 2019;13:691-694).
伊朗在灾难方面，是世界十大受灾国之一。因此，及时协调并提供灾难后的救援、运输和治疗服务尤为重要。本研究旨在调查并简要报告 2017 年克尔曼沙阿地震后的救援、运输和治疗服务提供情况。
这是一项回顾性和描述性研究，使用了对伊朗有效网站上发布的文件和新闻的分析，以及 2017 年克尔曼沙阿地震后一些服务提供者的报告。
震后服务最重要的优势是军队的合作、人民的支持、向地震灾区发送大众援助和捐款，以及人民之间巨大的国家支持和宗教同情。大众援助和捐款的发放导致了交通路线堵塞、道路交通拥堵，并打乱了救援和救援工作的进程。然而，这次地震后服务提供方面最重要的弱点是政府系统缺乏准备，以及缺乏有序管理适当的援助和救济，因此，大众援助和捐款在地震灾民中的分配不当。
伊朗在突发事件后的协调和服务提供方面还有相当大的距离才能达到预期的目标。不幸的是，类似的问题也出现在其他地震中，如巴姆和鲁德巴尔地震。这些问题的重复表明，当局缺乏准备，也不愿意解决应急计划中的弱点。因此，政府官员有必要在所有相关事务和方面做好更充分的准备。
