The disaster response routes play a crucial role in transporting injured people and goods during the 72 golden hours after disaster. These routes connect the major disaster relief centers. Prior identification of the disaster response routes for a city enables the response teams to reach the disaster locations quickly and conduct relief and rescue operations without being obstructed by the outbound flow of evacuees from the city. These routes should not generally be used by the public unlike the evacuation routes. In this paper, a multi-objective stochastic disaster response routes design problem is presented. In this study, with the goal of reducing vulnerability, the disaster response routes network can be protected against disaster scenarios to maintain its connectivity using more independent routes. An exact approach including a bounded objective function method for considering the multi-objective functions, including the network factors (OD connectivity, vulnerability, and management) and an exact method (branch-and-cut) for solving the proposed model are suggested. The results for SiouxFalls and Tehran networks show the effectiveness of the model.

1. Introduction The lessons learned from past natural catastrophe experiences place much emphasis on preparedness to respond effectively to disaster (Üster and Dalal, 2017). In an emergency logistic network, the disaster relief and the wounded people trips are two major disaster response trips to towards to the hospitals and the refugee camps. Most of these disaster response trips are done on transportation networks (Anaya-Arenas et al., 2014). Given that, in seismic cities, to overcome the post-earthquake transportation problems, the emergency transportation network must be considered, especially in the first 72 hours after the disaster when the traffic conditions are not normal (JICA, 2004; Özdamar et al., 2004; Shariat Mohaymany et al., 2013). The disaster response routes (DRRs) appear to have been planned seriously when traffic jams after earthquake disasters were observed in cities, including San Francisco (1989), Los Angeles (1994), and Kobe (1995). However, few papers have been found to be related to the DRRs. Some reports indicate that the related studies have been done by municipalities and related organizations on the disaster response routes in different cities, CORRESPONDENCE Afshin Shariat
