Optimizing Allocation for Emergency Resources in Natural Disasters
Publication: ICCREM 2020: Intelligent Construction and Sustainable Buildings
ABSTRACT
In recent years, with the increase of population density and the expansion of human economic activities, natural resources have been unscrupulously seized, which leads to great damage to the environment which human beings depend on. Therefore, the occurrence period of sudden disaster events is constantly shortened while the scope of influence is constantly expanded. These natural disasters show the character of high outbreak frequency and great social harm. Besides, these disastrous events not only bring huge economic loss to individuals but also cause great harm to people’s psychology. Nowadays, people pay more attention to the natural disaster events because of the serious harm and far-reaching influence of the sudden disasters. How to early-warning, deal with, control, and reduce the disaster loss as much as possible have become an important issue for all countries around the world. Scientific distribution of limited emergency resources and delivering them in time play an important role in guaranteeing the life safety of victims and improving the effect of rescue. On this basis, we study how to allocate the resources to minimize the disaster loss and how to forecast the saving to achieve the lowest economic cost.
