Preparedness for emergency response: guidelines for the emergency planning process.
Especially since the terrorist attacks of 11 September 2001, governments worldwide have invested considerable resources in the writing of terrorism emergency response plans.

متن کاملOn the Formulation and Solution of an Emergency Routing Problem
In this work, we will identify important variables that contribute to vehicular movement in an emergency environment. In particular, we formulate and pose the Convoy Routing Problem. We suggest a method for modeling the problem and formulate a precise problem statement that significantly reduces the number of variables under consideration. The difficulty of the proposed problem is examined, pra...
متن کاملThe Information-Collecting Vehicle Routing Problem: Stochastic Optimization for Emergency Storm Response
Utilities face the challenge of responding to power outages due to storms and ice damage, but most power grids are not equipped with sensors to pinpoint the precise location of the faults causing the outage. Instead, utilities have to depend primarily on phone calls (trouble calls) from customers who have lost power to guide the dispatching of utility trucks. In this paper, we develop a policy ...
متن کاملPlanning for Medical Emergency Transportation Vehicles during Natural Disasters
One of the main critical steps that should be taken during natural disasters is the assignment and distribution of resources among affected people. In such situations, this can save many lives. Determining the demands for critical items (i.e., the number of injured people) is very important. Accordingly, a number of casualties and injured people have to be known during a disaster. Obtaining an ...
متن کاملLocation and Routing Models for Emergency Response Plans with Priorities
In emergency planning, consideration of emergency priorities is a necessity. This paper presents new formulations of the facility location problem (FLP) and vehicle routing problem with time windows (VRPTW) with considerations of priority. Our models ensure that higher priority locations are considered before the lower priority ones, for both facility and routing decisions. The FLP is solved us...
