Abstract

Management is assumed as evidence for creating passive defense in protection of the equipment in reducing the effects of natural disasters like earthquakes, floods, fire, and etc. Actually, the preventive efforts for immunity of national infrastructures and decreased vulnerabilities are made in order to gradually prepare conditions for their security. The electricity sector is one of the vital infrastructures in a country, and it requires immunization against any type of natural disasters and appropriate topology for the sake of reducing crisis upon occurrence of accidents in this system in terms of passive defense. Through the integration of information bank of all national important infrastructures for proper crisis management in any province, one could take some efficient measures with respect to time management and to reduce the crisis. The crisis management tends to prepare the community for prevention, readiness, rescue, and reconstruction with appropriate planning. The application of state-of-the-art technologies and computerized systems is considered as one of the paramount elements, which are required in dealing with crisis today. In the present paper, we deal with the special capabilities of Geographic Information System (GIS) in Electric Industry in order to increase speed and accuracy to access information and thus to make decisions at time of emerging crisis and immunization of infrastructure of national electric industry through appropriate positioning from the viewpoint of passive defense.

Keywords: Crisis Management, Passive Defense, Positioning, Geographic Information System (GIS).
