Abstract: Emergencies cause uncertainty in supply chain environment and risks of disruption. Mitigating such risks in emergency supply chain relies on efficient relief material distribution, and in the distribution logistics system, emergency facility location interacts with material allocation clearly. This paper aims to provide a collaborative optimization for the location allocation of temporary emergency distribution centers, with objectives of minimizing rescue time and maximizing demand satisfaction rate. A location allocation model of emergency logistics is formulated by considering uncertain demand and supply information at the response stage of disaster relief. The model is solved by a plant growth simulation algorithm. At last, the feasibility and effectiveness of the model and algorithm in practical application are verified by evaluating a case of COVID-19 prevention and control in Handan city. This paper provides references for decision makers to accomplish the location allocation of emergency facilities and material distribution when dealing with actual situations.
