Abstract
Description
Effective and efficient response to natural and man-made disaster is a recurrent problem for governments and relief organizations world-wide. Whether responding to an earthquake in Bolivia, Turkey, or California, a drought in Central Africa, or a fatal train derailment in Sydney, organizations are faced with the task of moving necessary personnel and equipment to the disaster site and coordinating required activities.
