Emergency Response Planning For Anticipated Hurricane Events

Keywords

Abstract

Historically, natural disasters have been the cause of significant life and/or property losses. Every year, at least one state in the US suffers loss of lives and property damage due to hurricanes, wildfires, etc. More recently, the need for better emergency evacuation planning models increased significantly, especially in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. Most recently, several authorities state that there are weaknesses in the models that are currently employed in practice. We present an integer non-linear programming model that generates a response plan for emergency evacuation in the event of anticipated hurricanes. A computational example is provided.
