Location-allocation models for wildfire preparedness
| A problem setting where strategic network design is of foremost importance, is the preparedness for wildfire events. Once a wildfire starts, pre-positioned resources (e.g., tools) are delivered to operation centers where tactical decisions are made by firefighters. One of the key drivers for allocating the resources are the fire ignition points and the fire spread, which are stochastic in nature. By using simulated scenarios and a two-stage stochastic program, we have been able to decide upon strategic decisions related to locating facilities and their inventory levels; along with the tactical transportation and distribution decisions within a time-space network that allows for realistic size problems such as those arising in Bogotá. |
