Abstract

The statistical population of the study consists of all specialists and experts who have the necessary knowledge and experience in the field of firefighting and safety. To extract the key drivers affecting the performance of fire stations after the occurrence of environmental hazards, 30 variables originating from scientific projects and articles were identified in several stages with the help of experts and inspired by theoretical foundations. Key drivers affecting the performance of fire stations after the occurrence of environmental hazards were identified. Based on the results and output of the cross-sectional structural model (Mic Mic), these drivers or variables have often had a direct and indirect effect on the performance of stations with different intensities and at various levels. In this regard, in the plan or plan, the direct and indirect effects of the variables: the impact of human resources on the reliability of communication systems, the connection of access and transportation logistics on inter-organizational coordination, the impact of the reliability of communication systems on the prediction and reduction of seismic intensity and characteristics, the role of financial resource allocation on inter-organizational coordination. The relationship between the level of awareness and preparedness of the community and the allocation of financial resources, the impact of relief equipment and technologies on improving the resilience of physical infrastructure, the reliability of communication systems on the management of environmental and climatic factors, and the impact of relief equipment and technologies on the allocation of key financial resources were identified.
