This paper proposes a methodology to generate a robust logistics plan that can mitigate
demand uncertainty in humanitarian relief supply chains. More specifically, we apply robust …

Shelters are safe facilities that protect a population from possible damaging effects of a
disaster. For that reason, shelter location and traffic assignment decisions should be …

In urban evacuations, especially in response to an expected disaster, capacity reversibility
(also known as contraflow) has been considered a workable strategy to reduce traffic …

As awareness of the vulnerability of isolated regions to natural disasters grows, the demand
for efficient evacuation plans is increasing. However, isolated areas, such as islands, often …

This paper considers evacuation via surface transportation networks in an uncertain
environment. We focus on demand uncertainty which can lead to significant infeasibility cost …

Shelter location and traffic allocation decisions are critical for an efficient evacuation plan. In
this study, we propose a scenario-based two-stage stochastic evacuation planning model …

The evacuation of large municipal areas in an efficient manner during emergencies and
disasters is one of the critical tasks of emergency management agencies. This paper …
