Abstract: To optimize the emergency logistics network when facing an unexpected epidemic outbreak, an innovative definition of emergency service level is proposed in this paper. The new definition gives consideration to both the objectives of demand satisfaction in the infected areas and the total emergency operation cost. After that, an optimization model of emergency logistics network based on emergency service level is presented. The proposed model systematically integrates the real factors such as population flow among different affected areas, population density in different epidemic areas, the second-level circular prevention strategy in practice, and the service radius limitation of emergency distribution centers. The influenza A (H1N1) in Jiangsu Province is taken as our example. The test results demonstrate that the proposed model can provide effective policy recommendations and decision support for emergency management.

Key words: epidemic outbreak, emergency logistics network, emergency service level, location and allocation
