description Emergency logistics planning is increasingly becoming a crucial issue due to the increase in the occurrence of natural disasters and other crisis situations.

Logistics planning in emergencies involves dispatching commodities to affected areas and evacuation of wounded people to emergency units. The number of vehicles involved may be very large during on-going relief operations. Furthermore, time plays a critical role in the logistic plan, and it directly affects the survival rate in affected areas.
