Abstract
This paper presents background on the hospital facility location model as a prelude to describing some quantitative methods for determining the optimal capacity and location of emergency medical facilities within service areas of potential occupational accidents. It is assumed that the types of services provided by each emergency medical facility in the geographical domain are either all identical or all non-identical, and the capacities of these facilities are either all equal or all unequal. The specific application in mind is to determine the optimum allocation of medical personnel and materials around a geographical location where a dangerous physical or chemical agent is expected with some probability to be dispersed.
