Abstract: Disaster management covers all facilities focusing for reducing the effects of all mitigation operations. Generally, they are classified as pre disaster and post-disaster facilities. Primarily it contains the planning operations of pre disaster facilities sustaining the effective intervention operations. The disaster logistics is an inseparable part of disaster management facilities. The main part of the disaster management is delivering of the sufficient sources to the pre described places. This depends on the careful planning, application and updating. In this respect, Kütahya province analyzed with respect to disaster logistics perspective. A model was developed by means of Mixed Integer Programming (MIP) method for pre disaster and post disaster processes. This method helps for solving hard problems containing integer and continuous variables. This model generates an initial logistic plan with respect to possible effects of the disasters. In addition, because of its flexible structure, it can produce updated solutions with respect to information obtained after disaster events. Our model can serve to decision makers as a convenient tool for disaster management facilities.
