Abstract :Disaster management includes efforts to reduce the negative effects of a disaster. This management system has various challenges. Teams need to be sent to disaster areas as soon as possible to reduce losses and damages. Turkey, which frequently experiences earthquake disasters, has recently experienced the 2023 Kahramanmaraş earthquakes. After the recent earthquakes, the Great Marmara Earthquake, which scientists emphasize the most, has started to be discussed. It is said that Istanbul will be affected very much. Possible earthquake scenarios with a magnitude of 7.5 have been produced. In this study, Adalar district, which will be affected by the Great Marmara Earthquake, is considered and the problem of assigning teams to very heavily damaged buildings is discussed. For the continuation of the study, the data in the Istanbul Province Adalar District Possible Earthquake Loss Estimates Booklet is used. The 413 severely damaged buildings in the 5 neighborhoods where the destruction will occur and the number of building floors in the neighborhoods are taken into consideration. A mathematical model was created for the problem with the goal programming method. The model was solved with the Cplex solver of IBM ILOG optimization program. Thus, the optimal team assignment was realized.
