Background: Disaster management is one of the primary health care (PHC) areas of Iran, and it is becoming increasingly important due to continuous disasters. Accordingly, this study aimed to develop a national accreditation model for disaster management in Iran’s PHC system. Methods: The primary model was extended by reviewing the literature/documents and organizing specialized interviews with the experts. Then, the Delphi technique was used to reach a consensus among experts on the intended model. Subsequently, the primary standards were assessed from experts’ perspectives based on “importance” and “feasibility” criteria on a 9-point scale. In two rounds of Delphi, 14 out of 16 experts completed the questionnaires. Results: The final developed model emphasized providing required resources, enhancing the preparedness of health centers and households, taking appropriate actions in three phases of disaster, and evaluating the disaster management program. Conclusion: Considering the strong consensus among experts on the Delphi stage, the expanded model can improve disaster management performance.
