Abstract
Humanitarian logistics is regarded as a key area for improved disaster management efficiency and effectiveness. In this study, a multi-objective integrated logistic model is proposed to locate disaster relief centers while taking into account network costs and responsiveness. Because this location problem is NP-hard, we present a genetic approach to solve the proposed model
A bi-level multi-objective location-routing optimization model for disaster relief operations considering public donations

Abstract
In recent years, the number and severity of natural disasters occurring in various regions of the world have increased dramatically incurring heavy financial and human losses. Therefore, decision-makers have been concerned with ways of providing relief to reduce the losses. Here, we present a multi-objective bi-level model for disaster location-routing problem that provides the needed supplies through multiple suppliers, considering the supply risk. Moreover, to reduce the risk and increase efficiency, special attention is given to people's help for supplying goods having high priority and low risk. At the first level of the model, the cost and time objectives are considered, and at the...
A Model for Logistics Management in Natural Disaster Relief
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Eshghi, Kourosh (Supervisor) ; Najafi, Mehdi (Co-Advisor)
Abstract
Research and information available shows that the number of natural disasters are increasing dramatically; hence disaster management is being raised as one of the most important topics in this field. The relief logistics is the greater part of disaster management model.
In this study, in order to manage the logistics activities effectively in a response phase of an earthquake, a hybrid meta-heuristic algorithm is developed for a transportation network. Then, the proposed algorithm is tested on a small part of Tehran.

A Decision Support System (DSS) for Relief Logistics in the Event of an Unexpected Natural Disaster
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Eshghi, Kourosh (Supervisor)
Abstract
Examples from recent years, such as Covid-19 disease and earthquakes, show that disasters can have devastating effects on a community.These disasters are divided into two categories: expected and unexpected. decision makers cannot easily determine the time, severity and effects of them. Therefore, they must coordinate their decisions in the pre-disaster and post-disaster stages according to the incomplete information available, and according to the dynamics of the situation, quickly understand and interpret the connections between different decisions. Among the various approaches, the decision support system can explore the variable and unpredictable nature of such issues and enable decision...
A prioritization model for locating relief logistic centers using analytic hierarchy process with interval comparison matrix

Abstract
When natural disasters happen, relief logistic centers (RLCs) and the quality of their services become absolutely important. In other words, choosing proper locations for RLCs has a direct impact on operating costs and timeliness of responses to the rising demands. This paper aims at proposing a decision support system for prioritizing RLC's locations to facilitate providing emergency helps when natural disasters occur. The present study, focuses on considering availability, risk, technical issues, cost and coverage in locating RLCs. It is assumed that applying analytic hierarchy process (AHP) can facilitate the problem of locating these centers. The most important step in this process is...
