Abstract
Semirom is the cities that the relative risk of earthquake is high. So there is possibility of irreversible
catastrophe in any area of the country, including Semirom and its schools. The damage that the
earthquake caused can noted non-structural damage. Part of nonstructural systems including all
components and contents inside the building except the structural parts of beams, columns, floors and so
on. Hence, to avoid human and financial losses, risk reduction management plans and incident command
system for training centers is essential. Incident command system is a management system for the control,
command and coordination of activity in independent groups to achieve the common goal inhibiting the
accident and reduce human and financial losses and extreme damage is designed. In this study, to
determine the nonstructural vulnerability reduction strategies in the schools of Semirom and
organizational structure, group members and member’s tasks of the incident command system in
Semirom schools and also estimate the degree of readiness of staff and students in Semirom in
nonstructural vulnerabilities in the design incident command system, a self-made questionnaire has been
created. The questionnaires, in two part non-structural damage assessment and performance of schools
assessment designed then, using ANP analysis the data was analyzed and based on components of injuries
in Semirom schools and components of performance indicators in Semirom schools, 47 priority from 299
items, obtained and on the basis of priority, incident command system in Semirom schools is designed.
1. Introduction
Iran is one of the 10 most disaster-prone countries in the world. 8 devastating earthquake occurs annually
in the whole world and Iran have a long history of earthquakes, which caused the deaths of 126,000
people from the beginning of the twentieth century so far. Some cities in Iran are formed on the periphery
of faults and horizontal or vertical motion cause of earthquakes in these cities or areas around them,

Semirom city in the Isfahan province, including the cities which earthquake happened several times,
mainly along and near the Zagros fault (Negaresh 2003). Dena fault on the northern slopes of the Dena
mountain is located in the south of the Semirom city and has high seismic potential (Riazi Rad and Javan
Doloei, 2008). Seismicity study and velocity structure of the Isfahan area indicated by somatic waves
that 130 earthquakes with a magnitude greater than 4 Richter scale occurred in four years in Isfahan
province that the largest earthquake in 2005 in the North East Aran and Bidgol as large as 6.6 Richter
scale. Semirom is the cities that the relative risk of earthquake is high. Thus there is possibility of
irreversible catastrophe in any part of the country, including in Semirom and its schools. Because more
than 50 percent of schools in the city are located in distressed areas and building age over 30 years and
them against natural disasters, especially earthquakes are resistant. Around a third of the country's
educational facilities are not standardized that means an earthquake of magnitude 5 Richter can damage
these schools (Fani, 2016)
Particularly increase in the degree of readiness people in critical situations of schools can present as a
relief volunteer center of the crisis and the role it has played so far in our country's schools in crisis
situations and improve the management. Hence, to avoid damages, risk reduction management plans for
the incident command training centers is essential.
System encompasses a series of continuous reliable actions and measures for reinforce school buildings
and an emphasis on education for supplies and retrofit schools, in communities at risk of earthquake, part
of the policy to reduce the danger (Shaw, 2011 ).
Incident command system is a management system for the control, command and coordination to achieve
the common goal of inhibiting the activity of independent groups that accident and reduce casualties,
financial and extreme damage. Although efforts have been made, but institutions such as committee’s
crisis due to their poor performance in dealing with disasters, the need for a dynamic and effective
planning is essential. Now progressive and the destruction disaster effort, consistent, principled and
require more practical in this age.
2. Literature Review
Khajehee and Shomali and Bashiri (2013) in a study entitled "Reducing vulnerability of earthquakes in
student residences, Case study Keshavarz Blv. Shahid Beheshti University", the first to identify
vulnerabilities in sized-institutional, organizational and nonstructural dorm, and then provide incident
command system (ICS) and the risk reduction strategies for institutional and non-structural measures and
recommendations in order to have a disaster preparedness. Compliance with graph chart dormitory
incident command system, maneuver and promote a culture of safety, provide emergency evacuation
plans, strengthening non-structural components, wider entrance and escape stairs in front of the main
building, including the proposed measures. Kharadmand and Jahangiri (2014) in a study entitled
"structural vulnerability training centers in the earthquake and identifying safe havens for emergency
shelter after the earthquake - case study" concluded that despite the placement of the neighborhood in the
area of risk is relatively low in Tehran , low structural resistance of many educational centers associated
with non-compliance with design criteria, leading to high vulnerability in times of crisis centers will need
to be implemented. While the distribution of educational centers as emergency shelter is a safe
neighborhood.
Meyerson (2012) offer a tool that can help manage crises when events as a qualitative assessment of the
earthquake and disaster management in schools assess the main parameters.
School (2014), in his thesis on the role of social media in influencing incident command system set up
and concluded that because students have more traction to connect with social media, incident command
system through better management on the above can reduce the impact on the schools have events like
earthquake. Sanjaya Bhatia (2015), in his article entitled "Safe schools for the community: sample and
tool for disaster-resistant schools," noted spaces and educational facilities, especially schools, but a vital

community centers. Schools around the world during the earthquake in earthquake-prone areas or
completely destroyed or so damaged that they are virtually unusable. In this article the experiences of
India to retrofit school buildings against earthquakes considered.
In the main part of a systematic methodology for earthquake risk reduction in the education sector are
discussed. Mutch (2015) in a research on the schools earthquake, the earthquake in New Zealand (2010 to
2011) has done and the place and role of school administrators and teachers at the time of the incident and
after it has examined.
Ziyuan et al (2016) examined and mathematically analysis the behavior of the pupils in an earthquake and
concluded that the irregularities in the conduct of students is more than the power of an earthquake,
obviously there is more control and more power with students during an earthquake, will be harder.
3. Research Methodology
The population consisted of all schools in Semirom, 17 elementary schools, 7 middle schools and 11 high
schools, 1 night high school and 1 work and knowledge high school and 1 exceptional children school
(elementary and secondary) a total of 38 schools and their employees (38 managers, 38 deputy) in the
academic year is 2015-2016. After preparation of the questionnaire and its validity was confirmed by
experts and specialists, were distributed to the population. Given the lack of independence and
dependence between parameters, by using analytic network process (ANP), to identify possible
associations between factors and measure them.

1. The category consists of criteria and control of the following criteria is voluntary and alternative
categories.
2. The network of vectors and arcs that represent dependencies and correlations as well as feedback on
the decision.
4. Analysis of Results
4.1 Evaluation indicators
Table 1 lists the components of injuries in Semirom schools in which this indicator is consisted of three
parameters:
1) public and structure profile of school, 2) school incident management profile, 3) non-structural
assessment of school.
Components of performance indicators in Semirom schools can be divided into thirteen categories that
include disaster and emergency preparedness plan, risk assessment, risk mitigation measures, insurance,
incident command system, communications and early warning, evacuation, storage, human force,
alternative space and transportation, safety, water, electricity, gas, fire, recovery, exercises and
maneuvers.
Total performance indicators in Semirom schools, listed in Table 2:

However, it is important that the weight of Semirom schools performance indicators established for this
purpose, specifically, and according to the laws of analytic network process, fill the questionnaire in order
to significantly reduce the difference must be skilled and experienced in matters of school management.
Saaty (1996) in the theory of analytic network process (ANP) based on the generalization of the analytical
hierarchy process (AHP) presented a multi-criteria decision making and the purpose of it was to build a
model through which to complex problems into smaller parts and multi-criteria decision and by
reasonably assign values to the components easier and then integrate these values, the final decision will
be made. The result of the weighting Semirom schools performance indicators is shown in Table 3:

Considering that the aim of finding the most optimal indicators of injury in the Semirom school, we can
say the judgment matrix based on 23 components in Table 1 in accordance with the attached
questionnaire (a) created, after normalization matrix calculations and these can damage the optimal
parameters, prioritize Semirom schools that prioritize shown above in Table 4 and in particular the
criteria for decision-making in priority sectors of priority can be considered.

5. Conclusion
Using designs the questionnaire (non-structural damage assessment questionnaires and school
performance assessment questionnaires) and completes it, between 38 school and administrators and
based on ANP prioritize the most optimal indicators of injury, in schools Semirom obtained (Table 4).
Then with the help of methods and resources in the incident command system, an incident command
system has been designed for Semirom schools (Figure 1) and the duties of each of the elements written
before and during and after the earthquake.
The main duties of incident command system structure of the school are as follows:
•Periodic evaluation of school performance in the event (school performance evaluation questionnaire)
•A survey by school incident management questionnaire
•List of structural and other elements of the plan were strengthened these elements and report it to the
school (School non-structural evaluation questionnaire
•Prepare and check first aid kit and box for crisis in periodic replacement drugs, and so its use-by date
has passed.
•establishing and holding emergency exercises of crisis management (including maneuvers, emergency
evacuation, safe havens, and so on)
•Preparation and evaluation of a fire extinguisher for emergencies, so that its quality is preserved
•Provide necessary tables by phone: emergency, police, fire, emergency management offices,
municipality, local aid groups, schools and key people....
