This document summarizes a presentation on developing a multi-objective goal programming model for locating emergency shelters during disasters. It discusses factors to consider in shelter site selection like terrain, infrastructure, and proximity. A model is proposed with objectives of maximizing site suitability weights, minimizing distances for households and number of sites. Constraints include capacity, demand, utilization and proximity. The model formulation and sample results demonstrating shelter site and household allocations under scenarios are presented. The work contributes to more resilient disaster planning through integrated shelter location optimization.

Shelter planning
• Emergency Shelter: Provision of basic and immediate shelter
needs necessary to ensure the survival of disaster affected
persons, including rapid response solutions such as tents,
insulation materials, other temporary emergency shelter
solutions and shelter related non-food items” (Memorandum
of Understanding between IFRC and UN OCHA).
• Promote self-recovery and early recovery of those affected.
• complex natural disasters with prolonged mass displacement

Why Shelters?
• Sphere Project
• Shelter and settlement standard 1: strategic planning
Existing shelter and settlement solutions are prioritised through
the return or hosting of disaster affected households, and the
security, health, safety and well-being of the affected population
are ensured.

• Shelters provide safety, security, climate protection, and
resistance to disease and ill health.
• Shelter provision and performance is not up to the mark &
poor location selection is one of the reasons for the same.
• Selection of a suitable site for locating shelters from potential
alternatives is of critical importance.

Proposed model objectives
• Maximization of weights assigned to candidate sites based on
subjective evaluation criteria.
• Minimization of total distance covered by affected
households.
• Minimization of number of households who are not provided
shelters.
• Minimization of the number of shelter sites.

ADDED VALUE FOR INTEGRATIVE RISK
MANAGEMENT AND URBAN RESILIENCE
• This study proposes a decision model to prepare hazard prone
societies in becoming more resilient against disasters.
• The present work contributes towards the realisation of
sustainable development and recovery of affected community
as temporary shelter locations play a significant role in speedy
rehabilitation in a post disaster situation.
• Address of multiple objectives while planning for shelter
locations
