Abstract

Evaluating of health status and explore the challenges of health problems that threaten human life following disasters and major earthquakes providing windows of opportunities for health care providers in future planning of disasters. The main purpose of this report was to survey the environmental sanitation statues after 200 days of the affected populations in earthquakes of East Azerbaijan, northwestern of Iran, 2012. The survey was carried out in earthquake zones 200 days after the occurrence of the earthquake. A single stage cluster sampling from among 95 villages damaged in the earthquake of 2012 East Azerbaijan of three towns Ahar, Varzeghan and Heris were selected. The data were collected with questionnaire, site visits and evaluation of water and sanitation. In a twin Earthquake, East Azerbaijan province that 399 villages of Ahar, Varzeghan, Heris, Tabriz and Kaleibar cities were affected and 356 (89.2 %) villages were destroyed between 30-100%. Evaluation of water and sanitation infrastructure after 200 days, shown that only half of these villages consumed healthy water with high coverage and adequate. Half of the villages in 200 days after the earthquake were covered safe drinking water (treated drinking water). The bacteriological quality of drinking-water supply of the affected area was assessed in randomly collected 146 samples from this region and ten (6.8%) reported as unsuitable. Solid waste management facilities in residents have not been acceptable that affect public health. Solid waste disposal was done by district residents (cooperation rural residents) 68.4%, 36.8% and 76.3% in Ahar, Varzeghan and Heris, respectively. Overall, the impact of infectious and communicable diseases after Earthquake was reported 42.1% (16 villages) in the Varzeghan. The lack of geographical view with a focus in mountainous and rural areas, partial support and dispersion of earthquake-stricken people in affected villages and lack of participatory need assessment and pre-crisis coordination among various organizations led to negative effects of environmental factors on health status in villages. Providing intra-sector coordination for waste management with a sanitary disposal of sewage and detection hazardous materials aftermath as well as immediate measurements in the water supply system are necessary for health promotion of the affected population in the disaster region.

2012年伊朗西北部东阿塞拜疆地震灾区200天后的环境健康评估
评估健康状况,探讨灾害和大地震后威胁人类生命的健康问题的挑战,为卫生保健提供者在未来灾害规划中提供机会之窗。本报告的主要目的是调查2012年伊朗西北部东阿塞拜疆地震中受影响人口200天后的环境卫生雕像。这项调查是在地震发生200天后在地震区进行的。从2012年东阿塞拜疆地震中受损的95个村庄中选择了Ahar、Varzeghan和Heris三个城镇的单阶段整群抽样。这些数据是通过问卷调查、实地考察以及对水和卫生设施的评估收集的。在东阿塞拜疆省的一次双重地震中,Ahar、Varzeghan、Heris、Tabriz和Kaleibar市的399个村庄受到影响,356个(89.2%)村庄被毁30-100%。200天后对供水和卫生基础设施的评估表明,这些村庄中只有一半的村庄饮用了高覆盖率和充足的健康水。在地震发生后的200天里,有一半的村庄得到了安全饮用水(经过处理的饮用水)。从该地区随机采集146份样本,对受影响地区的饮用水供应的细菌质量进行了评估,其中10份(6.8%)报告为不合适。居民的固体废物管理设施不可接受,影响公众健康。Ahar、Varzeghan和Heris的地区居民(合作农村居民)分别处理了68.4%、36.8%和76.3%的固体废物。总的来说,据报道,地震后Varzeghan有42.1%(16个村庄)受到了传染病和传染病的影响。由于缺乏以山区和农村地区为重点的地理观点,受灾村庄的地震灾民得到部分支持和分散,各组织之间缺乏参与性需求评估和危机前协调,导致环境因素对村庄健康状况产生负面影响。为促进灾区受灾人口的健康,有必要在部门内协调废物管理,对污水进行卫生处理,检测有害物质的后果,并立即对供水系统进行测量。
