| Abstract: | Government agencies, not-for-profit organizations, and private corporations often assume leading roles in the delivery of supplies, equipment, and manpower to support initial response operations after a disaster strikes. These organizations are faced with challenging logistics decisions to ensure that the right supplies (including equipment and personnel) are in the right places, at the right times, and in the right quantities. Such logistics planning decisions are further complicated by the uncertainties associated with predicting whether or not a potential threat will materialize into an emergency situation. This paper introduces newsvendor variants that account for demand uncertainty as well as the uncertainty surrounding the occurrence of an extreme event. The optimal inventory level is determined and compared to the classic newsvendor solution and the difference is interpreted as the insurance premium associated with proactive disaster-relief planning. The insurance policy framework represents a practical approach for decision makers to quantify the risks and benefits associated with stocking decisions related to preparing for disaster relief efforts or supply chain disruptions.
