Flood is the most common natural hazard in Iran, which annually affects the environment and human lives. On March 25, 2019 in Shiraz-Iran, following a heavy rainfall, the occurrence of a flash flood caused an extensive number of deaths, injuries, and vehicle demolitions in a short time. Evidence suggests that man-made causes of the incident, including unsustainable urban development and lack of early warning services, have played a more influential role compared with its natural causes. This study has attempted to substantiate that understanding disaster risks, as the first priority of Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction (SFDRR) 2015-2030, directly impacts the decisions and actions of policymakers, local authorities, and the public. To provide more safety, mitigation, and disaster risk reduction, attention should primarily be paid on making a cultural paradigm shift through providing sufficient training in developing appropriate disaster risk perception in the community at large.
洪水是伊朗最常见的自然灾害,每年都会影响环境和人类生命。2019年3月25日,在伊朗设拉子,一场暴雨过后,一场山洪暴发在短时间内造成了大量人员伤亡和车辆损毁。有证据表明,该事件的人为原因,包括不可持续的城市发展和缺乏预警服务,与其自然原因相比,发挥了更具影响力的作用。本研究试图证实,理解灾害风险作为《2015-2030年仙台减少灾害风险框架》(SFDRR)的首要任务,直接影响政策制定者、地方当局和公众的决策与行动。为了提供更多安全保障、减轻灾害影响和减少灾害风险,应首先通过在广大社区开展充分培训,培养适当的灾害风险认知,实现文化范式转变。
