==Damage and casualties==
Four villages, <!-- [[Douhan village|Douhan]], [[Daghoyeh village|Daghoyeh]] and [[Houtkan village|Houtkan]],--> each having around 1,000 inhabitants, were reported completely destroyed, and 30% to 70% of buildings in more than 40 villages were reported damaged. It is estimated that the population of the affected area exceeds 30,000. A great portion of population of several villages are severely affected because of poor condition of buildings. The epicenter of the quake was in a mountainous and sparsely inhabited area. It is believed that the death toll could have been much higher if the quake had stricken a more densely populated area like [[Bam, Iran|Bam]].
==Previous events==
The region of Zarand is close to an active [[Fault (geology)|fault]], known as the Kuhbanan fault in the north east of the city. Its trend is northwest–southeast and its length is 160 km. Zarand has been hit by several quakes in the last 70 years, with the oldest recorded one going back to 1933. On December 20, 1977, at 04:34 [[Iran Standard Time]] (23:34 December 19 UTC), the area was hit by a [[1977 Bob–Tangol earthquake|6.2-magnitude earthquake]] leaving 521 dead and 3 villages completely destroyed. On December 26, 2003, [[2003 Bam earthquake|another devastating earthquake]] happened in [[Bam, Iran|Bam]], 200 km southwest of Zarand, which is in the same province.<ref name="Talebian06">{{cite journal |last1=Talebian |first1=M. |last2=Biggs |first2=J. |last3=Bolourchi |first3=M. |last4=Copley |first4=A. |last5=Ghassemi |first5=A. |last6=Ghorashi |first6=M. |last7=Hollingsworth |first7=J. |last8=Jackson |first8=J. |last9=Nissen |first9=E. |last10=Oveisi |first10=B. |last11=Parsons |first11=B. |last12=Priestley |first12=K. |last13=Saiidi |first13=A. |title=The Dahuiyeh (Zarand) earthquake of 2005 February 22 in central Iran: reactivation of an intramountain reverse fault |journal=Geophysical Journal International |year=2006 |volume=64 |issue=1 |pages=137–148 |doi=10.1111/j.1365-246X.2005.02839.x |bibcode=2006GeoJI.164..137T |doi-access=free }}</ref>
