Abstract
Recent years, emergent disasters have occurred frequently. This has attracted more attention on emergency management, especially the multi-objective emergency facility location problem (EFLP), a NP problem. However, few algorithms are efficient to solve the probleme and so the application of genetic algorithm (GA) can be a good choice. This paper first introduces the mathematical models for this problem and transforms it from complex constraints into simple constraints by punishment function. The solutions to the experiments are obtained by applying GA. The experiment results show that GA could solve the problems effectively.
