“…Throughout history, humanity has faced a multitude of natural disasters, including floods, earthquakes, hurricanes, and more, resulting in serious and often irreversible consequences despite technological advancements in recent decades [1][2][3]. Some of these disasters have been so catastrophic that they have significantly impacted the fundamental structures of countries, including their economies, societies, physical infrastructure, and, most importantly, the lives of those affected in densely populated areas [4][5][6].…”

Every organization typically comprises various internal components, including regional branches, operations centers/field offices, major transportation hubs, and operational units, among others, housing a population susceptible to disaster impacts. Moreover, organizations often possess resources such as staff, various vehicles, and medical facilities, which can mitigate human casualties and address needs across affected areas. However, despite the importance of managing disasters within organizational networks, there remains a research gap in the development of mathematical models for such scenarios, specifically incorporating operations centers/field offices and external stakeholders as relief centers. Addressing this gap, this study examines an optimization model for both before and after disaster planning in a humanitarian supply chain and logistical framework within an organization. The affected areas are defined as regional branches, operational units, major transportation hubs, operations centers/field offices, external stakeholders, and medical facilities. A mixed-integer nonlinear model is formulated to minimize overall costs, considering factors such as penalty costs for untreated injuries and demand, delays in rescue and relief item distribution operations, and waiting costs for the injured in emergency medical vehicles and air ambulances. The model is implemented using GAMS software 47.1.0 for various test problems across different scales, with the Grasshopper Optimization Algorithm proposed for larger-scale scenarios. Numerical examples are provided to show the effectiveness and feasibility of the proposed model and to validate the metaheuristic approach. Sensitivity analysis is conducted to assess the model’s performance under different conditions, and key managerial insights and implications are discussed.

The interactions between hazard exposure, social vulnerability, and physical vulnerability conditions cause major impacts during disasters. Infrastructure and housing problems are given more importance and considered as the root of many other concerns. As a self-disaster recovery approach, earthen construction techniques have gained greater acceptance due to the utilization of local materials, indigenous building practices that do not depend on highly skilled paid labour, and affordability. Earthen construction techniques are practiced globally, in various geographical conditions adapted to serve as site-specific hazard mitigation measures. This study utilized Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA) techniques, to examine the vernacular earthen practices of the Rajanga village of Dhenkanal District, Odisha State, India, and performed a qualitative analysis of its disaster resilience capacity. This village is located in a very high-damage risk zone for wind and cyclones. Findings suggest that PRA methods are effective in exploring construction practices and conducting a cause-issue-effect analysis after synthesizing various PRA inputs. Poor housing conditions in the village are due to a deterioration of various building elements and lack of hazard-resistant features increasing the vulnerability to disasters. In conclusion, PRA methods can be utilized as an effective tool for the exchange of knowledge between researchers and rural community members at large, for initiating a co-design process and conducting capacity building. Earthen construction methods have a greater potential for sustainable development, where it is engineered using traditional knowledge and new knowledge and incorporated with disaster-resilient features.
