DETERMINING OF DISASTER LOGISTICS RISKS BASED ON LITERATURE REVIEW

Purpose - Identifying and analysing of disaster logistics risks is a guide to the organizations according to the disaster logistics plans and actions to be taken. The main pupose of this study is to reveal the disaster logistics risks and the used methods to mitigate the effects of the risks. Methodology - The researches on disaster logistics risks were reviewed between January 2011-December 2018. The literature review was made on the databases EmeraldInsight, ScienceDirect, Scopus, Taylor&Francis Online and SpringerLink by using the keywords “disaster logistics risk”, “humanitarian logistics risk” and “emergency logistics risk”. Findings - The survey results show that demand risk is the most considered disaster logistics risk. According to the results, facility location decisions is the most addressed disaster logistics issue and Stochastic Programming is the most used solution method under risk based uncertainty. Conclusion - Considering the risks is very important for the plans and actions to be taken in context of disaster logistics. For future studies, the scope of the study can be extended by adding more databases. Studies can be made to develop strategic decisions to mitigate the effects of the disaster logistics risks
