The Novel Risk Analysis of Emergency Food Supply under Post-earthquake Conditions

Abstract

The quick and effective supply of food into an earthquake-affected area is paramount. However, after an earthquake, the road blockages and the communication disruptions significantly impair the timeliness of the food supply. Therefore, we established a risk evaluation index system of emergency food supply on the basis of the fuzzy theory. The thresholds and the key risk factors were determined to signal real-time warnings for the risk indicators of the emergency food supply.
