Abstract: Abstract Natural disasters are extreme, sudden events caused by environmental factors that injure people and damage assets. In order to reduce the disaster’s impact, many workforces like professional emergency forces and volunteers work simultaneously. An integrated, central coordination of available resources can therefore reduce overall damage. For this purpose, we introduce a mixed-integer linear program for project management, particularly scheduling, in disaster response. Many specific characteristics such as partially renewable resources, flexible resource profiles, and variable activity durations with possible interruptions are taken into account. First small-scale instances are solved with GAMS using CPLEX 12.9.
