Abstract

Annually 70000 people are being killed all around the world and around 200 million encounter natural and humanmade disasters. Thus crisis management and especially the effective management of relief logistic activities and Evacuation of the injured from incident areas seems vital. Some important activities when a disaster occurs include relief logistic activities and delivering these items to the injured people and moving them to medical centers. Military forces due to their potential and intrinsic capabilities as an aiding force play a key role in disaster response activities. In recent years the role of Armed forces in response to crises has increased due to: the growth in the frequency and scale of Natural Disasters, increasing interest of the Armed forces to take part in crises response, increasing tendency of humanitarian responses towards the militarization. In this paper a two-stage approach is used to optimize the transferring of relief goods to incident areas and evacuating the injured people therefrom, considering the role of Armed forces. First, a numerical model is developed in which vehicles are accounted for by integer rather than binary variable. This model is used to determine the number of goods and transferred people. Then by using a linear equations system, the exact instruction for vehicles is determined. In the proposed model the degree of injury of victims and the possibility of their survival is considered. Also in mixed integer model, the location of temporary medical centers and Local Distribution Centers (LDCs) near the incident areas are determined. Armed forces available facilities, including personnel and vehicles that can be effective in Relief logistics, are considered. The ultimate objective function tries to maximize the number of survivors. The proposed optimization approach is applied to East Azarbaijan earthquake in 2012, however, it is capable of being applied to any other similar situation.
