Resources Allocation Problem for Local Reserve Depots in Disaster Management Based on Scenario Analysis
Resource allocation problem for local reserve depots in disaster management is considered in this paper. In order to prepare for natural and manmade disasters of various scales, local government need to decide what kinds of and how much amount of commodities should be mainrained in local reserve depots in order to cope with slight disasters, while cooperating with central government for serious disasters. Resource requirement in each district is represented as a random variable, and links connecting the depots and districts are uncapacitated but might have failed. The randomness is represented by a finite sample of scenarios for demand and link. All scenarios are divided into two set, slight scenarios and serious scenarios.A resource allocation model, which aims to minimize the total rescue cost subjected to the local reserve depots capacity constraints, is presented. In this model, a multi-commodity and multi-modal transportation flow is also considered. Then, we design an LP-relaxation algorithm by introducing LP-rounding technique. Finally, a case study shows that this model can help local government to make decisions on resource allocation in case of disaster relief efforts and the corresponding algorithm can provide decision maker better advice.
