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 ...

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)
