Optimising Response Partnership for Natural Disaster Management: The PREDIS Decision Platform

Natural disasters often happen without warning. Finding and planning ways to manage for them is a humanitarian and economic necessity and the practitioners and stakeholders charged with this require as robust and comprehensive a toolkit as possible. This book focuses on the proliferation of partners in managing natural disasters and proposes the PREDIS decision platform, a predictive model for disaster response configuration.

To tackle the difficulties of coordinating disaster response, this book stands out by fusing theoretical understandings, useful advice, and cutting-edge technology. Combining practical case studies and honest analysis, this book, part of the Palgrave Studies in Logistics and Supply Chain Management book series, will be vital reading for scholars and students of humanitarian logistics and disaster management.
