The influence reduction policy of the port physical distribution network at the time of the disaster examined from the action scenario in case of a previous earthquake

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is proposing the countermeasures which can reduce the influence on the physical distribution network in a port when a disaster strikes. We analyzed the action outline of various organizations taking into account a previous earthquake and damage assumption, and summarized some problems extracted from them. on the analysis, the action outlines were shown in the following three stages which time progress was considered ;early stage reaction-in three days after the earthquake occurrence, disaster areas emergency reaction-from the 3rd day to the 1st month, positive rehabilitation and reconstruction-after the 1st month. Extracted problems are shown below; the problem on broader physical distribution network, the problem on transportation of aid supplies etc. From them, we suggest that the prompt establishment of a system is required in terms of the insufficiency of a system for a risk management.
