Abstract: Crises that occurred due to unexpected incidents significantly influence the society. Therefore, the availability of appropriate implementation programs in a truly critical context will strengthen the foundation of society in all areas, in one hand and, greatly reduce the financial losses, human casualties, and social, economic and environmental disruptions, on the other hand. Dispatched units should effectively be allocated and scheduled to reduce economic losses during the response phase. This article addresses the crisis logistics, including the processes of estimation, storing and distribution of goods, equipment, services affected people and relief teams, which must be delivered at the right time and in the right place to the appropriate extent and in a scientifically accurate manner with the least problems. This research presents a mathematical multi-objective model for managing natural disasters with a dispatch and control approach in emergency situations. Different emergency situations are discussed with crisis management.
