Locations of Temporary Distribution Facilities for Emergency Response Planning by Pradhananga, Rojee

“…However, prepositioned facilities may be small in numbers and distribution of resources to the affected area may require additional funds for transportation and other overhead costs. In such a case, distribution of resources through a number of temporary facilities, located near the demand centers can significantly improve the distribution process thereby decreasing the supply response time. …”
