Abstract— This paper deals with relief distribution and victim evacuation as a response to a disaster arrival. By using the response taking place in Padang Pariaman District following West Sumatra earthquake, two dynamic location-allocation models are built and are subsequently tested with a series of computational experiments. The experiments show that resource sharing enables the improvement of the response effectiveness.
