Development of a Hospital Network Resilience Index and its Application in Enhancing Hospital Network Resilience, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Kashani, Hamed (Supervisor)
Abstract
The objective of this study is development of a probabilistic framework that facilitates the investigation of the post-earthquake performance of a network of hospitals using the Hospital Network Resilience index which quantifies the ability of the hospitals to provide treatment to earthquake victims. Disasters such as earthquakes can damage the infrastructure systems of a community, disrupt the functionality, and lead to various direct and indirect economic, social and socioeconomic consequences. Over a decade, natural disasters such as earthquakes are estimated to have caused $1.3 trillion economic losses. The social and socioeconomic losses of natural disasters are equally significant as...
