Abstract: Abstract Disasters cause huge economic losses, affect the lives of many people, and severely damage the environment. Effective resource management during disaster preparedness and response phases improves distribution efforts and service levels and, hence, accelerates the disaster relief operations. Resource management in response to catastrophe has received increasing research attention in recent years, but no review paper focuses on this specific topic. Thus, the main purpose of this paper is to review the existing literature on resource management for disaster relief published in English in peer-reviewed journals in order to fill the gap. We apply bibliometric, network, and content analyses in our review to identify popular research topics, classify the literature into research clusters, and analyze the interrelationships between these research clusters. The second purpose of this paper is to identify gaps and trends in existing research. Finally, we propose six future research directions that provide a roadmap for resource management research for disaster relief.
