Abstract: Abstract Analytic hierarchy process-based model is presented for the selection of the post-disaster humanitarian logistics structure. The present work evaluates the three such structures, namely, Agency Centric Efforts (ACEs), Partially Integrated Efforts (PIEs) and Collaborative Aid Networks (CANs) with respect to the important determinants for these structures. AHP is a suitable approach for undertaking quantitative as well as qualitative analysis. The final outcome of AHP is an optimum choice among decision alternatives. Thus, AHP-based approach proposed in this work provides a more realistic and accurate representation of the problem for selecting the most effective post-disaster humanitarian logistic structure.
