By ending the World Bank's loan and approving a new statute in 1993, the Centre for Natural Disasters Mitigation Studies of Iran was established and continued its activities until 1998.

The Ministry of Jahad-Agriculture, deputy of Research and Education, Soil Conservation and Watershed Management Research Institute (SCWMRI) with the main mandate of research on integrated watershed management is founded in 1993. The main field of activity is to conduct research in soil erosion and sediment yield, soil conservation, watershed management, flood management and exploitation, river engineering, coastal protection, hydrology and water resources development, aquifer management, climate change and agricultural drought impacts management.

Being the best in Iran, the University of Tehran has been ranked as one of the top universities in Asia.The foundation of the College of Agriculture & Natural Resources (UTCAN), goes back to the year 1900, when it was first established as "School of Agriculture". 120 years of education, research and policy-making, has turned UTCAN into a pioneering and leading focal point in Iran and also in Asia.

Our research interest primarily lies in the domain of Disaster Nursing and Global Nursing, pivotal components within the Fundamental Nursing Science Field. We endeavor to cultivate a multifaceted approach in our research and educational programs, focusing on disasters and global health challenges to induce transformative advancements in nursing practices.

We are devoted to developing adept human resources who can proficiently coordinate and collaborate with a spectrum of professionals and organizations. Our aim is to foster the provision of superior care, grounded in clinical judgment and specialized expertise, integrating both care and cure elements seamlessly. We amalgamate findings from our comprehensive research to implement paramount changes in nursing practices, ensuring adaptability and resilience in diverse healthcare environments in the community in changing risk landscape. We utilize our professional capabilities with technology to undertake a pivotal role for care providers, ensuring optimal preparedness and response as first responder to people. The Center for Nursing Care Development in Diversity has been a beacon of communal contribution, particularly in Nishi Ward, Kobe City, exemplified by our ongoing efforts in reconstruction post the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake.

The Institute is a self financing autonomous business unit of the University. The Institute consists of highly experienced academic faculty members and full time consulting professionals undertaking all technical services of the Institute. Consulting projects and other assignments are otien secured on a referral basis from the industry and government agencies. We are the preferred technical partners in noise & vibration for GLCs, MNCs and industry leaders in oil & gas, power generation, infrastructure development and construction.

Our design and investigations are supported by extensive and comprehensive use of computer modeling and analysis. We put into practice our strong belief that there must be an engineering basis for design and problem solving ‐ so that key features and/or root causes could be identified for cost effective solutions and remedial solutions could be developed. The formulation of such solutions and design options can only be undertaken when supported by comprehensive measurements, analytical and computational analysis.

In 1972, rescue, Resettlement and the Ministry of National Unity formed as canceled. Relief and Resettlement Department under the Ministry of Social Welfare Department.

The first seeds of the University may be said to have been sown by Sir Sahibzada Abdul Qayyum Khan, who boldly conceived the idea and founded Islamia College - (The Dar-ul-ulum Islamia) in 1913 at the first out-post of civilization, almost at the mouth of the historic Khyber Pass. The founder of Pakistan, Quaid-e-Azam Mohammad Ali Jinnah, who perhaps saw the strategic role of Peshawar in his mind, on April the 12th, 1948, while addressing the students and teachers of the Islamia Collage Peshawar

The University of Peshawar, being a mother Institution of the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa is not only catering for the academic needs of Peshawar but also of the whole province and Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA). The highly qualified and trained faculty, student friendly and supportive administration, modern curricula, conductive academic environment and excellent infrastructure are the hallmarks of the University. Its role in political, industrial and government leadership is recognized. The University has an over whelming contribution in bringing positive changes in the society.

The Institute aims to help the regional and international communities to better understand the characteristics of risks related to natural disasters such as earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions, typhoons, floods, droughts, as well as non-traditional risks which may include infectious diseases and terrorism.

Through ICRM, NTU faculty and researchers will work on integrated risk assessment and management of natural hazards as well as man-made threats. Such work will be conducted in collaboration with research organisations worldwide in the risk management domain as well as insurers, reinsurers and risk modellers from the finance and (re)insurance industries and associations. ICRM aims to develop Asian catastrophe risk models and to build up industry benchmarks and indices which reflect the uniqueness of Asian catastrophe risks.

ICRM is envisioned to be a key player in Singapore's effort to further strengthen its position as a major international finance hub, especially in the (re)insurance areas. The models and tools developed by ICRM will allow governments, public organisations and the industry to analyse potential losses, and so develop risk-management strategies.

Decision-makers in Asia in particular will be able to utilise such tools to identify vulnerabilities, prepare for a range of possibilities and allocate resources. ICRM will undertake the state-of-the-art multi-disciplinary research work which leads to better understanding, communicating and managing of major disasters, both natural and non-traditional, and thereby provides major positive impacts on the society.
