Abstract

The increasing trend in happening natural disasters mandates developing appropriate contingency plans to deal with them. In this paper, a goal programming based model is developed for an integrated pre- and post-disaster operations management, while considering the restoration of disrupted routed and warehouses. The model accounts for epistemic uncertainty in input data through a hybrid two-stage scenario-based possibilistic-stochastic programming model. In addition, to validate the proposed model and its practicality, an illustrative example is presented, and its numerical results are assessed.
