“…On the other hand, if government expect that the severity of flood disasters will increase in the future, they should select the scenario 2 or 3 for flood evacuation planning and shelter site selection. However, the government or policymakers should be interested in the number of open shelters and the utilization of shelter because it represents the efficient flood evacuation planning including financial and evacuation distance 23) . Finally, the final point depends on policy maker's preference.…”

Evacuation planning and shelter site selection are the most important function of disaster management for the purpose of helping at-risk persons to avoid or recover from the effect of a disaster. This study aims to propose a stochastic linear mixed-integer mathematical programming model for improving flood evacuation planning and shelter site selection under a hierarchical evacuation concept. The hierarchical evacuation concept is applied in this study that balances the preparedness and risk despite the uncertainties of flood events. This study considers the distribution of shelter sites and communities, evacuee's behavior, utilization of shelter and capacity restrictions of the shelter by minimizing total population-weighted travel distance. We conduct computational experiments to illustrate how the proposed methodical model works on a real case problem in which we proposed Thai flooding case study. Also, we perform a sensitivity analysis on the parameters of the mentioned mathematical model and discuss our finding. This study will be a great significance in helping policymakers consider the spatial aspect of the strategic placement of flood shelters and evacuation planning under uncertainties of flood scenarios.

“…Rooted in survival psychology and cognition theories, Sheu (2014) proposes a emergency logistics operational model that aims at disaster relief-service distribution to maximize survivor resilience. In Hu et al (2014), a mixed-integer linear program is constructed for multi-step evacuation and temporary resettlement under minimization of panic-induced psychological penalty cost, psychological intervention cost, and costs associated with transportation and building shelters. Negative psychological effects of widespread disease epidemics are usually more significant.…”

a b s t r a c tThis work presents a novel model of emergency medical logistics for quick response to public health emergencies. The proposed methodology consists of two recursive mechanisms: (1) the time-varying forecasting of medical relief demand and (2) relief distribution. The medical demand associated with each epidemic area is forecast according to a modified susceptible-exposed-infected-recovered model. A linear programming approach is then applied to facilitate distribution decision-making. The physical and psychological fragility of affected people are discussed. Numerical studies are conducted. Results show that the consideration of survivor psychology significantly reduces the psychological fragility of affected people, but it barely influences physical fragility.

“…Computational tests are performed using data from Taiwan's 1999 Chi-Chi earthquake. Hu et al (2014) presented a novel mixed-integer linear program to study the effects of panic and panic spread in post-earthquake evacuation and temporary resettlement. But to our knowledge, UWD has never been concerned from the aspect of emergency logistics in literature.…”
