Shen et al. (2009a) included this problem as the first stage of a two-stage approach. W. Herrmann exercises and training. The second stage is solved after the emergency occurs; at this point, the actual travel times and demands are known, and the original solution can be adjusted by modifying the delivery quantities, skipping low-demand sites, or finding a completely new solution.

The plan must also include the procedures to bring in additional queue “servers,” often via local and regional mutual aid agreements. As teaching guides, accessible applications of queueing theory to day-to-day public safety systems are readily available (Larson 1972). Queuing theory is but one tool in the OR tool box. There are many others, including optimization methods such as linear programming and dynamic programming, transportation network analysis, and decision theory. Most of these tools have relevance to planning for and responding to LPHC events.
