Abstract

Extreme natural phenomena have brought, among other things, loss of human life, materials, and ecology all over the world. This situation requires humanitarian logistics as a relevant process in planning the activities of various individuals focused on saving human life. Time is a key factor behind the impact of a natural event that becomes a disaster, the location of facilities and provisional routes, and supply can make the difference between life and death. This article presents a Logistic Design of Humanitarian Help (DLAH in Spanish) in the Altas Montañas region of Veracruz, Mexico. The p-median model is used as a base for the location of various humanitarian warehouses combined with the vehicle routing problem with function capability for the response time to determine the delivery routes of products to municipalities affected by a natural disaster. Satisfactory results were obtained due to the geographical characteristics of the area subject to study, obtaining a DLAH made up of six warehouses and a total of fourteen routes with an average travel distance of 67.7 kilometers, which could support a fast supply route.
