The number of studies in the field of
disasters is rising as a result of the rising number of disasters worldwide.
Planning, carrying out, supervising, and coordinating disaster management
operations are crucial. Special infrastructures are needed for emergencies such
as search and rescue, humanitarian aid, evacuation operations, etc.
Establishing due diligence as soon as a crisis strikes is one of the most
crucial aspects of disaster management. In order to minimize the amount of
victims, debris must be found quickly, especially during earthquakes. Due
diligence becomes challenging when severe disasters like earthquakes disrupt
facilities like the phone, internet, and electricity lines. Finding the
locations of the wreckage is crucial to assisting with search and rescue
operations. This study looks at an arc routing problem to assess the state of
buildings in an earthquake-affected area. The goal is to locate the locations
as soon as possible by at least once inspecting every path and road within the
disaster area. Getting a quick fix for arc routing problem is more important
for disaster management than getting the best outcomes. Two distinct heuristic
approaches have been put forth in this regard, and the outcomes have been
contrasted.
