Background: Crisis management, as an undeniable necessity for safeguarding lives, property, and national assets, requires a robust legal and regulatory framework. Iran, being one of the most disaster-prone countries in the world, has enacted a range of crisis management laws, among which the General Policies on the Prevention and Reduction of Risks Arising from Natural Disasters and Unexpected Incidents stand out as particularly significant.
Method: Adopting a review-based approach, this study analyzes the differences between the resolution of the Expediency Discernment Council and the directive issued by the Supreme Leader. It further identifies and synthesizes managerial lessons derived from these differences across three key domains: structure and preparedness, operations and communication, and strategic planning.
Results: The managerial insights obtained can be categorized into three principal areas: structure and preparedness, operations and communication, and strategic planning.
Conclusion: The findings suggest that these policies signify a paradigm shift from reactive crisis management toward resilient governance and comprehensive, cycle-based crisis management. |
