Abstract
　By applying a mathematical method of linear programming, we formulated a procedure for enhancing the effectiveness of the emergency response taken by a local government at city level. We laid the planning criteria on the optimum allocation of available resources, both human and material, into the multiple objectives of disaster management, including conservation of lives, properties, and living of affected inhabitants. To replace this multi-objective optimization problem into single-objective one which is far convenient in practical solution, we introduced a set of weighting coefficients that allows the significance and priority of response objectives and activities. We carried out a case study for a hypothetical disaster situation to demonstrate the performance of the planning procedure. We, referring the results of the case study suggested that the procedure is also applicable to the evaluation of regional preparedness in terms of the availability of response resources.
