Abstract

Disaster Operations Management (DOM) is a Non deterministic polynomial, Multi-objective optimization problem. DOM is a cyclic process and holds various phases. It is impossible to prevent natural disasters completely but optimized solutions can be suggested to avoid/mitigate the impact of disasters. India is a developing country and natural disaster is one among the major issues in India. Due to various geo-climatic conditions, frequent natural disaster events like earthquake, flood, drought, landslides, tropical cyclone and storm strikes according to the vulnerability of the hazard prone area especially in the region of Tamil Nadu, India. DOM prevents human and economic losses by applying computer algorithms, computer based decision making tools and software solutions to handle disasters effectively. Still more improvisation is needed in an optimized pattern for acquiring best solutions. This paper presents the optimization perspective of DOM and highlights the need for bio inspired optimization techniques to reduce the impact of disasters, towards a social focus.
