What is it about?
A two-stage stochastic programming model is proposed for location planning of Temporary Medical Centers. The total setup cost of TMCs and expected total casualty transportation cost are minimized. Triage, α-reliability constraints and probability of damage to the hospitals and roads are considered.

Why is it important?
The proposed model finds an optimal TMC location solution while minimizing the total setup cost of the TMCs and the expected total transportation cost by considering casualty types, demand, possibilities of damage to the roads and hospitals, and distance between the disaster areas and the medical centers.
