A chance-constrained goal programming model to evaluate response resources for marine pollution disasters. Research report
TLDR
In this article, the authors developed a model to aid Coast Guard managers in formulating appropriate policies with respect to planning for various types of equipment required to contain major pollution incidents and elaborated in terms of three primary stages of response: offloading, containment, and removal.Abstract:
This paper develops a model to aid Coast Guard managers in formulating appropriate policies with respect to planning for various types of equipment required to contain major pollution incidents The model is elaborated in terms of three primary stages of response: offloading, containment, and removal The zero order rule of chance-constrained programming is used to obtain a deterministic equivalent of the original chance-constrained model This is then replaced by a goal programming formulation to allow for plans that come 'as close as possible' to desired quality and risk levels for each pertinent region and type of incident Numerical examples illustrate potential uses of the model with special emphasis on its value for budgetary (equipment) planning by central management that extends to evaluation of risk and performance quality levels, as well as the usual dual evaluator approaches for evaluating initially prescribed levels of equipment and their efficiency coefficients (Author)read more

A Partial Covering Approach to Siting Response Resources for Major Maritime Oil Spills
TL;DR: In this article, a partial set covering model is applied to the problem of locating oil spill response equipment on Long Island Sound, and implications for public policy are discussed in this context, although employed in a resource constrained mode, can also be used in a budget-constrained mode.
