Evacuation Shelter Location Problem for Emergency Planning: A Review

Fueled by an ever increasing number of disasters worldwide, the field of Disaster Operations Management (DOM) has recently received growing attention fro m Industrial Engineering researchers. This upward trend has established operations research and management science as integral tools for planning and decision making within the field of DOM. Many review articles have been contributed to the literature of DOM, but most of these articles are wide in scope, covering many different types of problems wh ile lacking an adequate depth in the analysis for each one of the individual problems. In contrast with these wide scope review papers, this paper takes on a different angle by focusing on the Evacuation Shelter Location (ESL) problem for emergency planning. Assuming an inside-out perspective pinpointed at the ESL problem, other related decision problems - namely Evacuation Planning (EP) and Relief Supplies Distribution (RSD) - are examined. The literature is also reviewed for integrated models that incorporate EP and RSD problems into shelter location decisions. This paper develops a classification scheme for the reviewed models and thus aligns them for a systematic gap analysis. The gap analysis presented paves the way for the development of more comprehensive ESL models that integrate other related problems.
