摘要: This research will focus on creating disaster relief planning models that can be used both pre- and post-disaster to specify locations for shelters and routing plans for relief supplies. While this research will focus specifically on a large magnitude New Madrid earthquake scenario, the models developed will be general enough to be useful in any event or disaster requiring emergency shelters to be located and supplies to be available. The pre-disaster planning models created will rely on probabilistic information regarding expected infrastructure damage to specify shelter locations and routing plans likely to be effective and feasible post-disaster. As such, complex stochastic models will result. Because these models are used for strategic planning, significant computation time can be dedicated to obtaining solutions expected to be of high quality for numerous likely scenarios. Importantly, plans that maximize predicted performance may not be feasible for the specific damage scenario caused by the disaster. For example, the remaining infrastructure along pre-determined delivery routes may not be sufficient, requiring a new shelter location or route to be specified. Therefore, the post-disaster planning models we develop will use real-time infrastructure status information to specify recourse actions necessary to convert pre-disaster plans to feasible solutions. Response time is critical in saving lives after a disaster, so approximate solution approaches will be developed to obtain good solutions quickly.
