The two important processes have generally been discussed separately in literature. However to be able to correctly evaluate preparedness of disaster and emergency and minimize potential loss of lives it is important that these two interconnected processes are analysed together. The purpose of this study is to present an integrated simulation model of victim transportation and treatment processes after a major disaster and use the proposed model in a case study for Bornova a district of the city of İzmir in Turkey. Simulation model is run with a detailed experimental design and results are statistically analysed. We find out and report the importance of correct distribution of ambulances to regions and rules for better management of capacities of constrained medical resources in order to minimize total loss of lives.İngilizceinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessBilgisayar Bilimleri- Yazılım Mühendisliği-Kentsel ÇalışmalarBilgisayar Bilimleri, Yazılım MühendisliğiKentsel ÇalışmalarArticle
