Research of Regional Emergency Logistics Support Capability Evaluation: A Case of Typhoon Disaster in Zhejiang Province
Ying Huang, Daqiang Chen, Jie Wu, Sisi Ji and Qianbing Gu

Abstract: Logistics support capability evaluation and constructions are key issues in emergency logistics efforts, with the objective of preventing or controlling the emergency events, to minimize systematic loss. In this paper an emergency logistics support capability evaluation system was proposed. Firstly, the factors influenced emergency logistics support capability were analyzed with lecture reviews and expert questionnaire and an evaluation index system was presented. Then with the application of fuzzy analytic hierarchy process, a model of regional emergency logistics support capability evaluation model was proposed. Finally, a case study of evaluating typical cities affected by typhoon in Zhejiang Province was given, with the results that Ningbo, Zhoushan, Wenzhou, Hangzhou and Jinhua have better logistics support capability than other cities in Zhejiang, which should put more hard work on the construction of emergency logistics in case to minimize the loss of typhoon disaster.
