We study the problem of locating disaster response and relief facilities in the city of Istanbul, where a massively destructive earthquake is expected to occur in the near future. The Metropolitan Municipality of Istanbul decided to establish facilities to preposition relief aid and execute post-disaster response operations. We propose a two-tier distribution system that utilizes existing public facilities locally in addition to the new facilities that will act as regional supply points. We develop mathematical models to decide on the locations of the new facilities with the objectives of minimizing the average-weighted distance between casualty locations and closest facilities, and opening a small number of facilities, subject to distance limits and backup requirements under regional vulnerability considerations. We analyze the trade-offs between these two objectives under various disaster scenarios and investigate the solutions for several modelling extensions. The results demonstrate that a small number of facilities will be sufficient and their locations are robust to various parameter and modelling changes.

Pre-positioning of relief items under road/facility vulnerability with concurrent restoration and relief transportation
Aslan, Ece; Çelik, Melih (2019-08-03)
Planning for response to sudden-onset disasters such as earthquakes, hurricanes, or floods needs to take into account the inherent uncertainties regarding the disaster and its impacts on the affected people as well as the logistics network. This article focuses on the design of a multi-echelon humanitarian response network, where the pre-disaster decisions of warehouse location and item pre-positioning are subject to uncertainties in relief item demand and vulnerability of roads and facilities following the...
Identifying buildings with high collapse risk based on samos earthquake damage inventory in Izmir
Binici, Barış; Yakut, Ahmet; Canbay, Erdem; Tuncay, Kağan (2022-01-01)
Samos Earthquake caused the collapse of about fifty buildings in Izmir city center, resulting in over 120 fatalities. The response spectra of the ground motions at the soft soil sites in Izmir revealed that the spectral accelerations in the period range of 0.5-1.5 s are similar to the spectral accelerations defined by the response spectrum corresponding to the 72-year return period. Despite experiencing accelerations lower than those defined by the Turkish Code design spectrum (475-year return period), sign...
Demographic and psychosocial features and their effects on the survivors of the 1999 earthquake in Turkey
Ecevit, Mehmet Cihan (2002-01-01)
A survey was conducted of 500 survivors of the 1999 earthquake in Turkey to investigate their levels of alienation and forms of preparedness for future disasters. It was found that the level of alienation in general is not very significant and that level of education is the most important influential independent variable, The only alienation component found to have a negative impact on the responsible behavior related to preparedness for earthquakes was the social isolation variable. As level of education i...
Locating mobile facilities in railway construction management
Guden, Huseyin; Süral, Haldun (2014-06-01)
The location problem with mobile facilities is motivated by a real-life railway construction project. In railway construction, (im)mobile concrete batching facilities are located to build viaducts and tunnels on a line over a planning horizon. The problem is to determine the number and types of facilities to be located, to schedule the movement of mobile facilities, and to make concrete production-allocation decisions, so that all requirements are satisfied, facility capacities are not violated, and the tot...
Pre-Positioning Disaster Response Facilities and Relief Items
RENKLİ, Cigdem; Duran, Serhan (2015-07-04)
Large-scale disasters cause enormous damage to people living in the affected areas. Providing relief quickly to the affected is a critical issue in recovering the effects of a disaster. Pre-disaster planning has an important role on reducing the arrival time of relief items to the affected areas and efficiently allocating them. In this study, a mixed integer programming model is proposed in order to pre-position warehouses throughout a potential affected area and determine the amount of relief items to be h...
