Abstract

No community is immune to the disaster hazards in right now excessively connected globe. Multiple casualties in emergencies can be hard to control. Insufficient practice in reply to these occurrences can cause damage in periods of life and well-being, belongings, and foundation. The purpose of the study is to determine the level of preparedness of households in Hormozgan province facing disasters in 2022 to improve people's preparedness. Data were collected using the Household Disaster Preparedness Index (HDPI), including 15 preparedness measures. The questionnaire was completed by trained health system experts. 190,726 households, were participated in the study. The level of preparedness of households in Hormozgan was 39.54 %, the education index of households was 29.42 % and the number of evaluated households in the province was 33.22 %. The study results showed that participants aged 20 to 40, living in the city, and having a university education had the highest level of preparedness. Therefore, by implementing programs for people under 20, living in the villages, and having a diploma or less education, the level of readiness of the community against disasters can be increased. Furthermore, having an earthquake risk experience in Hormozgan province has increased the preparedness for activities related to this study.

伊朗南部家庭备灾及其与人口因素的关系

在当今这个过度互联的世界里，没有一个社区能够免受灾害的影响。紧急情况下的多人伤亡很难控制。应对这些事件的练习不足可能会对生命、幸福、财产和基础造成损害。本研究的目的是确定2022年霍尔木兹甘省家庭面对灾害的准备程度，以提高人们的准备程度。使用家庭备灾指数（HDPI）收集数据，包括15项备灾措施。问卷由训练有素的卫生系统专家完成。190,726个家庭参与了这项研究。霍尔木兹甘省家庭备灾水平为39.54%，家庭教育指数为29.42%，受访家庭数为33.22%。研究结果显示，年龄在20至40岁之间、居住在城市、受过大学教育的参与者的准备程度最高。因此，通过实施针对20岁以下、生活在农村、教育程度只有文凭或更低的人的方案，可以提高社区对灾害的准备水平。此外，在霍尔木兹甘省有地震风险的经验，增加了对与本研究有关的活动的准备。
