Dear all

I am organising a stream on Disaster Management at the OR60 "Anniversary" Conference and would like to invite submissions on this topical research area.

Disaster impact assessment
Prevention and mitigation investment planning
Shelter location
Evacuation planning
Relief delivery
Casualty transportation
Stakeholders' coordination
Recovery operations
Refugee camp location, coordination and management
Refugee resettlement
Big data for disaster management
Disaster information systems
Resilient land use and agriculture
Epidemics control supply chain management

For details, please visit the conference web site: http://www.theorsociety.com/Pages/Conferences/OR60/OR60.aspx

If you are interested in this stream, please drop me a line (m.p.scaparra@kent.ac.uk).

I look forward to seeing you in Lancaster next September.

Kind Regards

Paola
