Recovery of society after a large scale disaster generally consists of twophases, short- and long-term recoveries. The main goal of the short-termrecovery is to bounce the damaged system back to the operating standardsenabling residents in damaged cities to survive, and fast supply with vitalresources to them is one of its important elements. We propose a generalprinciple by which the required redistribution of vital resources between theaffected and neighbouring cities can be efficiently implemented. The short-termrecovery is a rescuer operation where uncertainty in evaluating the state ofdamaged region is highly probable. To allow for such an operation the developedprinciple involves two basic components. The first one of ethic nature is thetriage concept determining the current city priority in the resource delivery.The second one is the minimization of the delivery time subjected to thispriority. Finally a certain plan of the resource redistribution is generatedaccording to this principle. Several specific examples are studied numerically.It elucidates, in particular, the effects of system characteristics such as thecity limit capacity in resource delivery, the type of initial resourceallocation among the cities, the number of cities able to participate in theresource redistribution, and the damage level in the affected cities. As far asthe uncertainty in evaluating the state of damaged region is concerned, somespecific cases were studied. It assumes the initial communication system hascrashed and formation of a new one and the resource redistribution proceedsynchronously. The obtained results enable us to consider the resourceredistribution plan governed by the proposed method semi-optimal and ratherefficient especially under uncertainty.
