Effective allocation of casualties to hospitals in mass casualty incidents
IEEE Conference Anthology, 2013The effective allocation of casualties amongst hospitals represents a crucial element of the response to any mass casualty incident. We propose a mathematical model to assist in achieving such a distribution by providing a means to evaluate and compare any proposed allocations.

Deployment of field hospitals in mass casualty incidents
Computers & Industrial Engineering, 2014We propose an analysis framework to determine the location and size of emergency service facilities to be established after a disaster to cope with the demand surge. We utilize a multi-period mixed integer programming (MIP) model that simultaneously optimizes capacity allocation and casualty transportation decisions in order to provide emergency ...
