Study on the Emergency Material Allocation from the Perspective of Cross-regional Rescue

Emergency material allocation is essential to improve emergency rescue effectiveness and reduce disaster losses, which has become a research focus for emergency response. However, it is seldom given due consideration in disaster response from cross-regional rescue perspective. For this reason, the paper breaks the traditional regional emergency rescue mode and proposes a cross-regional emergency material allocation model with the goal of the lowest transportation costs, the shortest delivery time and the maximum satisfaction of the victims. Finally, Numerical experiment and analysis are conducted to demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed model. The results show that the proposed model can make the emergency material allocation more efficient and fair, and can provide method and decision support for the cross-regional emergency rescue.
