By the glow of headlamps and bobbing flashlights, a resident began resuscitation while others prepared to place a central catheter. While Samad tried to sustain morale,...
متن کاملPreparing for Disasters: Medical Supply Location and Distribution
We propose a stochastic optimization approach for the location and distribution problem of medical supplies to be used in disaster situations. We develop a robust decision support mechanism, which is serviceable under the wide variety of possible disaster types and magnitudes. In preparation for disasters, we develop a stochastic programming model to select the storage locations of medical supp...

متن کاملA team approach to preparing for hurricanes and other disasters.
Applying lessons learned in Hurricane Floyd in 1999, a three-hospital system located on Florida's exposed Space Coast was able to better deal with the devastation caused by hurricanes in 2004 and make changes in its plans to better prepare for the named storms which hit its area in 2008. Each new disaster, the author points out, brings with it new challenges which have to be considered in disas...
