Multistage assignment optimization for emergency rescue teams in the disaster chain

作者:

Highlights:

• A multistage rescue team assignment model for dynamically responding to the disaster chain is developed.

• The model can be extended to cover additional secondary disaster situations over the life of the disaster chain.

• Three priority scheduling strategies are defined and analyzed.

• The scheduling strategy depends on a maximum rescue time being allowed for the disaster.

• The overall performance of the proposed model was satisfactory regardless of whether secondary disasters occurred sooner or later.
