Disaster logistics aims to provide both physical movement of goods and services as well as management of materials during disasters with high efficiency, under deteriorated conditions of the transport and production systems. Even though disaster logistics’ performance takes the scene on the response phase of disaster management cycle, practices (or drills) on various “most-likely” and “worst-case” scenarios ensure the efficient functioning of the system. In 2013, Disaster and Emergency Management Presidency (DEMP) has released Turkey’s National Disaster Response Plan to clarify duties and responsibilities of governmental bodies, private sector and NGO’s in the response process of any disaster. In the report, regional organization scheme has been given to provide efficient disaster logistics’ services. Furthermore, due to new established logistics warehouses, DEMP aims to improve the accessibility of goods and services to affected zones aftermath of disasters.

In this paper, regarding to the preliminary results of an ongoing project, disaster logistics has been evaluated in the frame of accessibility by temporal scenarios. Besides the data obtained by Traffic and Transportation Survey, three different time slots are used to calculate best alternatives between departure and arrival points and length of time of alternative journeys.
