abstract="Urban development has been rapidly progressing in the megacity of Tehran without the proper development of a disaster prevention system for potential earthquakes. Considering the high level of seismic hazard and the number of existing vulnerable structures, it is absolutely essential to prepare a regional seismic disaster prevention plan to mitigate possible seismic damage in Tehran. This work is an attempt to propose a seismic risk reduction program for the city. The key goal of this program is to identify the roles and responsibilities of the governmental and private sectors for earthquake disaster management.<p />",
