Abstract
In the past recent years, the northeastern part of Thailand called "E-san"has experienced flooding. The death toll in year 2019 flood reached at least 33 people. For proactive flood response, the authority must plan effort schemes to provide shelters and foods. The location of flood relief shelter is a key for assistance to flood victims. This paper is to employ P-median model by incorporating with historical data to determine the suitable flood relief shelters. We also examine two scenarios: in the first one district is served by only one flood relief shelter and in last one the number of flood relief shelter to district depending on the number of residents who dwells in that district. We tested our model with data collected from the district in the southeastern E-san areas.
