Abstract

Disasters, both human-made and natural, have bleak characteristics to upheaval lives. Disaster response requires multidimensional efforts and multidisciplinary teams. The humanitarian supply chain is responsible for managing the pre-disaster and post-disaster movement of goods, funds, information, and humans. This paper will explore managerial interventions possible in disaster response from a supply chain management perspective. Paper will describe issues with information management of disaster relief operations. Paper proposes a novel framework for integrating blockchain technology, internet of things (IoT), social media analytics and advanced optimization algorithm to determine the relief action plan. The integration is sought to make the relief work self-regulated, encrypted, efficient, decentralized, responsive, agile and foolproof. The proposed framework may reduce the turnaround time of fund, improve resource distribution, and enhances reliability. The designed framework can also support the integration of blockchain platform with IoT sensors, smart devices and autonomous equipment's. It will facilitate better interagency coordination, express decision making and wide adaptability or interoperability.
