Abstract
One of the most vital aspects of emergency management studies is the development and examination of post-disaster search and rescue activities and treatment facilities. One of such issues to be considered while performing these operations is to reach the disaster victims within minimum time and to plan disaster logistics in the most efficient manner possible. In this study, the problem of planning debris scanning activities with Unmanned Aerial Vehicles after an earthquake and transporting the injured people to the hospitals by ambulances within minimum time was discussed, and mathematical models were developed to solve the problem. The ambulance routing problem and the mathematical model to be used in the solution to the problem are discussed for the first time in the literature. The developed model was tested on the problem sets created by taking into account the data of the province under investigation.
