Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study addresses relief supply management at distribution centers in the aftermath of a disaster. I investigated problems of relief supply actually occurred in the Great East Japan Earthquake and measures against a future disaster by the national government and prefectural governments. The important factors and problems are extracted from reports of the Great East Japan Earthquake for relief supply management in distribution centers. Additionally, candidate centers for relief distribution are surveyed.
