T & uuml;rkiye is an earthquake zone that frequently experiences earthquakes as a result of the convergence of the plates. The period in which earthquakes will occur is unknown, but the damage caused by the necessary planning can be reduced. Disaster management, which is a dynamic and versatile process, is a system that requires effective organization to minimize losses and damages. In the response phase of disaster management, search, and rescue teams work against time pressure by undertaking complex tasks in their live-focused debris work in multiple and scattered disaster areas. In the 6 February 2023 Kahramanmara & scedil; earthquakes, it has been seen how important it is to dispatch the teams to the regions quickly. In this study, the problem of scheduling 380 Disaster and Emergency Management Presidency (AFAD) search and rescue teams to be dispatched to 8 areas where destruction was experienced was handled by considering the earthquake scenario in a province located in a risky region. The purpose of the problem is to dispatch the appropriate number of teams to the correct disaster areas. The mathematical model created with the goal programming method is solved with the IBM ILOG optimization program. According to the solution results obtained, the optimal assignment and schedule of the teams are created by providing the targeted constraints.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessDisaster Management; Earthquake; Staff Scheduling; Search and Rescue Teams; Goal ProgrammingA sample application for scheduling search and rescue teams in an earthquake disasterArticle4251555156210.14744/sigma.2024.001201202-s2.0-85206187070Q3WOS:001333482400005N/A
