Abstract

This research analyzes the impact of timing of post-warning and pre-disaster stock prepositioning decisions in disasters with an advance warning, such as hurricanes. From the warning time to the landfall time, disaster planners receive updated information regarding the hurricane's trajectory and the potential target region iteratively. The planners should decide when the best trigger time (TT) is to start the preparedness activities (prepositioning stocks of emergency goods). The quality of a given TT is evaluated concerning two performance measures: (i) the total logistics cost in the preparedness and response phases; and (ii) the minimum response time (RT) needed to transfer goods from the response facilities to affected areas in the response phase.
