Name
C
Potential epicenters
Point 1
Consider several potential epicenters and each with corresponding earthquake occurrence probabilities.
…
Point N
F
Level of earthquake
Level 1
Earthquake can be divided into different levels, and each of them has the corresponding probabilities.
…
Level M
G
Level of injury
Seriously
The level of injury of each injured person is subject to the two-point distribution. Each level of injury has corresponding probability and demand of blood.
Slight
D
Distribution of blood type
Distribution 1
The distribution of different blood types in the injured may be uncertain.
…
Distribution J
L
States of hospitals
Unavailable
Use unavailable probability, which is affected by the random events in C and F, to represent the state of hospitals.
