A RESOURCE ALLOCATION MODEL FOR SHELTER SYSTEMS ANALYSIS.

Abstract

One of the primary objectives of shelter research in civil defense is to assess the cost-effectiveness and feasibility of alternative shelter systems. In order to better direct the subordinate research tasks and thus improve the inputs to the total CD systems analysis, the budget allocation model (BAM), a procedure for studying resource allocation and for evaluating the cost-effectiveness of alternative shelter systems was developed. BAM determines an optimum mix of additional shelters within a variety of constraints which include the budget, attack environment, shelter vulnerability and cost, and population distribution to improve an existing shelter posture. The report describes the operation of BAM and emphasizes the improvements added to the model to expand the types of resource allocation studies that may be performed. (Author)
