Abstract

Most of the buildings in the historical texture of Yazd have not been adequately resistant to earthquakes, and the rules, regulations and criteria have not been observed in their design.
Most of these buildings are old and some of them are newly-built. The occurrence of earthquake entails serious and irreparable damages to buildings, facilities, equipment, natural resources, social order, historical and cultural heritage, activities, employment and income, organizations and executive agencies, transportation system and business, therapeutic, health, educational, religious, etc. functions, and will lead to crisis. The crisis management process requires implementation of measures before, at the beginning, during and after the crisis.
