| While control and supervision of behavior are vital to disaster
management, they are usually disregarded. Disorder and change in
behavioral patterns during a disaster are one of the main factors in
disaster management such that disaster can be interpreted as
disorder and damage in behavior. Thus behavioral patterns that are
created during a disaster are essential in disaster management.
Research in behavioral patterns has shown the following
determining factors during a disaster: 1. The structures of social
relations during a disaster 2. Cultural and religious factors 3.
Mental and psychological pressure factors. Victims to such disaster
encounter a series of physiological and psychological reactions
whose intensity and kind depend on a variety of factors such as:
prior experience, intensity of destruction caused, the time between
the event and the symptoms and personal emotions.
In this review, while mentioning the above mentioned factors, some
practical facts about disaster management that have to be
considered in such cases are also discussed. |
