Abstract
In this paper I find the best location of casualty collection points (CCPs). CCPs are expected to become operational in case of a human-made or natural disaster with mass casualties, such as a high-magnitude earthquake. Five objective functions are suggested and analyzed: p-median, p-center, p-maxcover, min-variance, and Lorenz curve. Multiobjective models are also analyzed. To illustrate the location problem, the models are applied to a scenario based on a large earthquake hitting Orange County, CA as a case study. The optimal locations for the CCPs using the objective functions are found, analyzed, and compared.
