Abstract
Earthquakes are unforeseeable aberrations which could lead to significant loss of life and property and require external aid in management. According to the United States Geological Institute (USGS), more than a thousand earthquakes occur every year on earth, and about 15 of them are greater than 7 intensities. More than 800 thousand people died in earthquakes from 2000 to 2015 [5]. In order to diminish the loss of life, reaching accurate information promptly from disaster areas in the first hours of earthquakes bears high importance. Thus, post-disaster management operations have become increasingly worthy. In this study, facility location for the base station of unmanned aerial vehicles will be made by using Fuzzy C-Means and Fuzzy C-Means – Center of Gravity algorithm according to probabilistic demands in the regions where the communication network is interrupted.
