We study the problem of selecting a set of shelter locations in preparation for natural
disasters. Shelters provide victims of a disaster both a safe place to stay and relief …

This study explores how emergency shelters can adapt to a multi-hazard environment by
geographic information system (GIS) and takes Guangzhou as a case for analysis. The …

During the disaster, a rescue and safety system (RSS) must be developed to evaluate
whether distributing rescue time or increasing the number of ambulances can successfully …

Casualty rescue is always a critical issue in emergency departments when the buildings
collapsing, bridges or roads damaged happen in the earthquakes. However, previous …

The opening of public shelters to provide evacuees with access to safety and welfare is a
typical response to large-scale emergencies. In some countries, officials allocate people at …

This study introduces a robust Dynamic Population Evacuation (DPE) framework in
response to the escalating challenges in wildfire-urban interface regions. The DPE model …

This article addresses an emergency shelter and medical network design problem by
integrating evacuation and medical service activities and considering diurnal population …

Designing an efficient shelter location planning is crucial to the rapid implementation of relief
operations under the uncertain number of casualties. In practice, the uncertain number of …

This paper presents a probabilistic model of budget allocation for improving the efficiency of
the transportation network in pre and post-disaster situations. We examine two problems to …

This thesis aims to improve planning and executing population evacuations by integrating
advanced simulation techniques within urban road networks. Although much research has …
