Abstract

The frequency of and damage caused by natural disasters are continuously increasing due to climate change and urbanization. There is growing interest in countermeasures aimed to relieve the damage caused by such disasters. Emergency logistics for relief supplies is one of the most important countermeasures. This study examines the logistics of the facility planning algorithm. Facility planning focuses on storing and providing relief supplies, as well as accommodating the victims of natural disasters. Although a similar point is noted in general logistics problems, a significant difference is also pointed out that stability must be considered for supporting stable emergency logistics. Therefore, this study evaluates the risk of the route and candidate point by considering the vulnerable site at the disaster scene and suggests the facility planning algorithm based on the genetic algorithm. Finally, the performance of the suggested algorithm is verified by conducting a simulation experiment.
