Description
Summary:Earthquakes in the past have caused significant damage, injuries, and deaths. The remaining resources do not equal the amount needed. For this reason, effective and efficient disaster management methods are needed. Learning from recent research that describes how they optimize the coordination function of hospital systems to overcome the imbalance between need and care capacity, we add the bed occupancy ratio (BOR) of healthcare facilities to the modeling. This paper aims to provide information about the distribution mechanism for injured victims by minimizing the total time to arrive at the healthcare facility. This victim evacuation modeling uses the integer linear programming method with two scenarios. Simulations were carried out on 164 injured victims, estimated by residents who live in areas that cross the Great Sumatran fault. The results show that the second scenario, which involves distributing it to the nearest healthcare facility, is 3.6 hours shorter compared to taking it to the general hospital in the first scenario.
