Configuración de redes de asistencia social como soporte a la logística en atención de desastres- Caso Leche Liconsa – Ciudad de México

Abstract

As a complement to the classification of logistics structures for disaster response, proposed by José Holguín-Veras, Jaller, & Wachtendorf in 2012, a potential structure has been identified, not yet contemplated in the literature, which is based on the use from the logistics networks of social assistance programs (LNSAP), in support of the disaster response network. This is based on the fact that the LNSAP have characteristics that are considered of great benefit for the eventual logistical support in post-disaster situations, as they are commonly managed by the State, have detailed records of the beneficiary population and have extensive knowledge of the community social leaders, representing potential benefits in contributing to rapid response in the last mile of disaster response.

In this regard, this work presents different alternatives in which the logistics infrastructure capacity of the logistics networks of a social assistance program is used to support disaster relief efforts, acting as the first respondent in the last mile of aid delivery. . The quantitative results were obtained through mathematical models of linear programming and the crossing with geographic information systems, with them, the degree of support in which LNSAPs can supply the demand for humanitarian aid was determined in scenarios that vary both in risk and in the volume of requirements of the affected population. To do this, it was implemented in the LICONSA´s milk Social Supply Program in Mexico City (CDMX) based on the September 2017 earthquake and the city's seismic risk atlas.
