Abstract

The study aims to identify the magnitude of Saudi factories' resistance to natural environmental hazards, and to clarify security and safety procedures followed by Saudi companies to resist the risk of earthquakes. Besides, identifying the procedures followed by the Saudi Electricity Company in terms of security and safety and the readiness of the Saudi Electricity Company for measures to resist earthquake risks. To achieve the aim of the study, it relied on the descriptive analytical method, in addition to approaches of Crisis management and total quality management.
