  7. Abstract:
  8. Large amounts of relief resources such as water, tents, medical equipment and fuel after a major disaster need to reach the affected people. Satisfying the needs of victims is crucial to the success of crisis relief operations, as a lack of relief resources can lead to the suffering and loss of lives of victims. According to studies, large-scale catastrophes have occurred frequently in recent years. Therefore, it is necessary to pay more attention to the management of post-crisis resources. Since the distribution of emergency resources depends largely on the efficiency and effectiveness of logistics operations, the primary objectives include minimizing logistics time and cost, minimizing unsatisfactory demand, and minimizing service delays. The purpose of this study is to develop a method to solve the problem of allocating rescue resources after an earthquake. In this model, the scale of the crisis area and uncertainty in emergency operations will be addressed, which will bring the model closer to real-world conditions. To solve the problem under uncertainty, stochastic programming can be used that calculates different scenarios and their probabilities so that the model is closer to the real situation
