FAHP is used to determine weights of six main criteria (including hospital buildings, equipment, communication, transportation, personnel, flexibility) and a total of thirty-six sub-criteria regarding disaster preparedness. In this study, a hybrid fuzzy decision making model was proposed to evaluate the disaster preparedness of Turkish hospitals. To tackle this disadvantage, an Excel-based decision support system has been properly designed and adopted to accelerate the disaster preparedness evaluation in relation to: i) weighting and prioritizing disaster readiness criteria and sub-criteria, ii) identifying the dispatchers and receivers within the disaster management scenario, iii) ranking the hospitals according to their preparedness level, and iv) defining focused operational strategies for increasing the response of hospitals against outbreaks.	./cache/cord-274239-xuwoqy18.txt	./txt/cord-274239-xuwoqy18.txt
