A stochastic optimization model for designing last Mile relief networks
(Informs, 2016-08)
In this study, we introduce a distribution network design problem that determines the locations and capacities of the relief distribution points in the last mile network, while considering demand- and network-related ...
A continuous approximation approach for assessment routing in disaster relief
(Elsevier, 2013-04)
In this paper, we focus on the assessment routing problem which routes teams to different communities to assess damage and relief needs following a disaster. To address time-sensitivity, the routing problem is modeled with ...
Selective routing for post-disaster needs assessments
(Springer International Publishing, 2016)
In the immediate aftermath of a disaster, relief agencies perform needs assessment operations to investigate the effects of the disaster and understand the needs of the affected communities. Since assessments must be ...
Multi-vehicle sequential resource allocation for a nonprofit distribution system
(Informa Group, 2014)
This article introduces a multi-vehicle sequential allocation problem that considers two critical objectives for nonprofit operations: providing equitable service and minimizing unused donations. This problem is motivated ...
Disaster preparedness using risk-assessment methods from earthquake engineering
(Elsevier, 2018-09-01)
Analyzing the uncertainties associated with disaster occurrences is critical to make effective disaster preparedness plans. In this study, we focus on pre-positioning emergency supplies for earthquake preparedness. We ...
Supplier selection for framework agreements in humanitarian relief
(Wiley, 2014-06)
In this study, we consider the supplier selection problem of a relief organization that wants to establish framework agreements (FAs) with a number of suppliers to ensure quick and cost-effective procurement of relief ...
Collaborative prepositioning network design for regional disaster response
(Wiley, 2019-10)
We present a collaborative prepositioning strategy to strengthen the disaster preparedness of the Caribbean countries, which are frequently hit by hurricanes. Since different subsets of countries are affected in each ...
A multi-cover routing problem for planning rapid needs assessment under different information-sharing settings
(Springer Nature, 2020-03)
In this paper, we introduce a multi-cover routing problem (MCRP), which is motivated by post-disaster rapid needs assessment operations performed to evaluate the impact of the disaster on different affected community groups. ...
Special issue in humanitarian operations
(Elsevier, 2016-12)
Site selection and vehicle routing for post-disaster rapid needs assessment
(Elsevier, 2017-05)
In the immediate aftermath of a disaster, relief agencies perform rapid needs assessment to investigate the effects of the disaster on the affected communities. Since assessments must be performed quickly, visiting all of ...
