NATURAL HAZARD OCCURRENCE

1 I.R.IRAN s NATURAL HAZARDS PROFILE Islamic Republic of Iran, situated in south-west Asia, covers an area of 1,648 million sq km with the population of 70,270,000 for the year Sixty percent of the country is covered with mountains and the remaining part is desert and arid lands. This chapter presents Iran s natural hazard profile, based on DesInventar data. NATURAL HAZARD OCCURRENCE Due to its geo-climatic situation, Iran is a natural disaster prone country. Regarding DesInventar, totally, 6,559 natural hazard events were recorded in Iran for the period of , which caused 74,019 deaths, 141,918 injured, 38,835,621 affected, 508,301 houses damaged or destroyed and 8,595,568,000 USD in economic loss. Earthquake was the most frequent hazard in accounting for 52.7% of total events. Flood accounting for 38.1% of all events was in the second rank. Other hazards, totally account for 9.2% of events were as follow: storms (3.0%), landslides (1.9%), thunder storms (1.4%), snowstorms (1.0%), hailstorms (0.9%), drought (0.5%), forest fire (0.4%), avalanche (0.1%), strong wind (0.01%) and frost, liquefaction, rains and tornado (totally 0.04).

2 Table 1 reveals that the most important hazards are drought, earthquake and flood (DEF) and storm. Earthquake could be called as the most important hazard in terms of mortality, damage to buildings, people affected and economic damage. Rudbar-Manjil earthquake (1990) and Bam earthquake (2003) were mega disasters of last two decades. Drought has affected the people more than all other hazards and accounts for 37 million affected people around the country, mostly in Fars, Bushehr, Yazd and Kerman provinces. Storm has affected people after drought and earthquakes. Guno Typhoon (2007) affected more than 160 thousands people in Sistan va Baluchestan province in south east of Iran. Floods are in the second rank in terms of mortality. Floods in Loretsan (1991), Tehran (1987), Golestan (2001) and Kerman (1993) put the flood among top 10 killer hazards of Iran for period.

4 Figure 2a shows the upward trend of recorded geological hazards in Iran during last two decades. Except for 2000, 2001 and 2007 the increasing trend is consistent. The 2005 was the most earthquake hit year. The most frequent year in term of climatic events was 1998 and the prominent hazard was flooding (Figure 2b). While overall trend of climatic hazards shows no prominent change over years, excluding floods, the upward trend of other climatic hazards is noted by Figure 2c. Landslides and storms are the major contributors to this pattern Climatic Geologic Figure 2a- Trends in occurrence by hazard group, I.R.Iran, Figure 2b- Trends in occurrence by hazard type, I.R.Iran, Tornado Thunder storm Strong wind Storm Snow storm Rains Liquefaction Landslide hail storm Frost Forest fire Flood Earthquake Drought Figure 2c- Trends in occurrence of climatic hazards, excluded flooding, I.R.Iran, Tornado Thunder storm Strong wind Storm Snow storm Rains Liquefaction Landslide hail storm Frost Forest fire Drought Avalanche GAR 2009-Iran's Draft Report:: Hazard Profile Section 4

5 Climatic hazards occurred more frequently in late of winter and early of spring in March, April and May. No seasonal (monthly) pattern was observed in occurrence of geologic hazards Climatic Geologic January February March April May June July August September October November December Figure 3-Monthly trends in occurrence, by hazard group, I.R.Iran, GAR 2009-Iran's Draft Report:: Hazard Profile Section 5

6 Figures 5 and 6 indicate the spatial distribution of geologic and climatic hazards occurrence at Ostan and Shahrestan levels, respectively. Despite a great diffusion of hazard occurrence across the country, there is a concentration across a small number of provinces. As noted by Figure 5, the least hit provinces by natural hazards, i.e. Zanjan, Markazi and Ghom, have experienced 1 to 5 natural hazard events per year. At the other end, Fars and Kerman provinces experienced 23 to 32 hazards per year. Fars, Kerman and Khuzestan were the most hit provinces by geologic hazards, but Kerman, Khuzestan and Razavi Khorasan experienced the greater number of climatic hazards. Only about 8 percents of Iran s Shahrestan had no recorded natural hazards for the period of Figure 5- Hazard occurrence by Ostan, I.R.Iran, GAR 2009-Iran's Draft Report:: Hazard Profile Section 6

8 LOSS OF LIFE DUE TO NATURAL HAZARDS According to DesInventar, totally, 6,559 natural hazard events were recorded in Iran for the period of , which led to 74,019 deaths. Earthquakes have been responsible for 95.0% of total mortality, followed by floods, which account for 4.5% of total deaths. Other natural hazards, including landslides, storms, thunder storms, snowstorms, avalanche, hailstorms, frost and tornados contributed in 0.5% of total mortality. (Table 2, Figure 7). Table 1 also presents average number of people killed per year by different types of natural hazards. In average, 3,364.5 people were killed by all natural hazards in period, per year.

Earthquake was the top killer hazard, followed by floods. The earthquakes in Rudbar-Manjil (1990) and Bam (2003) were responsible for 89.5% of total death. The most deadly floods occurred in Kuhdasht (1991), Tehran (1987), Kalaleh (2001) and Kerman (1993). GAR 2009-Iran's Draft Report:: Hazard Profile Section 9

Climatic events represented 47.3% of events causing 5.1% of recorded mortality (Figure 8) Climatic Geologic 20 0 Event Death Figure 8- Proportion of events and death by natural hazard groups, I.R.Iran, Mortality trend, in general, indicates 27.3% decrease in period of compared to Comparing period to , while the geologic hazard occurrence shows increasing trends up to 126%, but no change in climatic hazards, mortality trend reveals 25.2% and 59.1% decrease due to geologic and climatic hazards, respectively (Figures 9). This decreasing mortality trend raises questions as to its origin. Regarding geologic hazard, occurrence of a high magnitude earthquake in a low density area in Ghaenat (1997) and the effective early warning in Lorestan (2006) can be possible explanations. Lorestan earthquake could kill potentially the people as same as Bam earthquake did. GAR 2009-Iran's Draft Report:: Hazard Profile Section 10

11 Establishment of more effective early warning systems may lead to downward trend of climatic-related deaths. All of these uncertain explanations underpin the need for a better system to capture the impact of various disaster reduction efforts.

12 Figure 10 indicates the trend in mortality due to natural hazards. The year of 1990 (Rudbar-Manjil earthquake), 2003 (Bam earthquake) and 1997 (Ardebil earthquake) were the highest mortality time. Years of 1987, 1991 and 1986 experienced the highest mortality due to flooding Climatic Geologic Figure 11a: Death due to natural disasters, by hazard group, I.R.Iran, Figure 11b: Death due to natural disasters, by hazard group, I.R.Iran, Tornado Thunder storm Strong wind Storm Snow storm Rains Liquefaction Landslide hail storm Frost Forest fire Flood Earthquake Drought Avalanche Figure 11c: Death due to climatic disasters, by hazard group, I.R.Iran, Tornado Thunder storm Strong wind Storm Snow storm Rains Liquefaction Landslide hail storm Frost Forest fire Flood Drought Avalanche GAR 2009-Iran's Draft Report:: Hazard Profile Section 12

13 As Figure 12 presents that the most deaths caused by earthquakes were occurred in months of June, December and May due to Rudbar-Manjil (1990), Bam (2003) and Ardebil (1997) earthquakes. July, December and August were the deadliest months by floods Geologic Climatic 10 1 January February March April May June July August September October November December Figure 12- Monthly trend of death by hazard group, I.R.Iran, GAR 2009-Iran's Draft Report:: Hazard Profile Section 13

Despite a great diffusion of hazard occurrence across the country, there is a concentration across a small number of provinces. Gilan and Kerman were the most affected provinces by natural hazards in term of mortality, mostly due to earthquakes. Ghom was the only province with no death during All other provinces had the history of mortality by geologic or climatic events. Tehran, Golestan, Kermanshah and Kerman were the most affected provinces in term of death by climatic events..

16 INJURY DUE TO NATURAL HAZARDS According to DesInventar, totally, 6,559 natural hazard-related events were recorded for Iran for the period of , which led to 141,858 injured people. Earthquakes have been responsible for 98.70% of total injuries, followed by floods, which account for 1.2% of total injuries. Other natural hazards, altogether contributed in 0.1% of total injuries, including storms, thunder storms, avalanches, landslides and hailstorms (Figure 15).
