Abstract EN
The allocation of rescue resources after an earthquake has become a popular research topic in the field of emergency management.
The allocation of first-aid medicine for earthquake rescue has stronger time sensitivity than that of general rescue materials.
This study focuses on the problem of first-aid medicine allocation in earthquake response.
First, we consider the incompleteness and renewal of decision information in an emergency environment, as well as the balance between the risk of decision error and delay.
Second, we propose an equilibrium decision method for the allocation of first-aid medicine in earthquake rescue based on information update.
This method attempts to realize a fair allocation to all disaster places and minimize total transport time loss.
Third, a simulation analysis is performed in which the proposed method is applied to the first-aid medicine allocation problem in the Wenchuan earthquake response.
Results show that the method can be used to create a good allocation plan in an earthquake rescue situation.
