Features of refined analysis
• Added ODE model based burden predic2ons • Added travel speeds to network • Because outputs of prior work all similar: – Focused exclusively on “Pa2ent Direct to ETU” and the LandScan™ Grid for both methods
• Outputs include: – Alloca2on for en2re na2on based on Popula2on (12 new centers) – Alloca2on for northern coun2es based on Ebola Burden (6 centers) – Alloca2on for en2re na2on based on Ebola Burden (12 centers) Ignoring 2 new centers already planned for Monrovia and Kakata

ODE Model to forecast incidence
• Fit SEIR models to Liberian coun2es with >30 cases and >10 new cases in the last 21 days
• Forecasted to December 1st, 2014

Future Work
• Network reliability! – Even main roads can be washed out or impassable.
• Place Mini-‐ETUs – 10-‐20 bed facili2es placed between main ETUs
Maryland Avenue from Pleebo to Harper (from John Etherton).

Future Work • Itera2ve Planning approach – Provide candidate loca2ons, model with these – As on the ground data is provided ruling out different sites, readjust and provide the next “op2mal” solu2on
• Try other Op2mal alloca2ons: Maximum A.endance versus K-‐medians – K-‐medians is most “equitable” solu2on – 1 person at 100 miles = 100 people at 1 mile – MA ignores those beyond distance threshold
• Pro: maximizes availability in high density areas • Con: ignores very remote popula2on centers

Features and assump2ons
• Op2mized Loca2ons for Southeast Liberia Only – Grand Gedeh, Grand Kru, River Cess, River Gee, Maryland, and Sinoe Coun2es
• Delivered report to DTRA on 2014-‐10-‐06 • Limita2ons: – All roads and rivers weighted equally – Ebola case load not used – Did not include network reliability
DRAFT – Not for a.ribu2on or distribu2on
Compe2ng Methods
• Loca2on-‐Alloca2on – Run in Esri® ArcGIS™ 10.1 SP1 Network Analyst – Solves k-‐medians problem: places facili2es to minimize weighted travel 2me for all people
• MapOp2mizer – Wri.en in Python using NetworkX1 Library – Solves via Dijkstra’s Algorithm2
DRAFT – Not for a.ribu2on or distribu2on
Data Sources
• Road Network: The Liberia Ins2tute of Sta2s2cs and Geo-‐Informa2on (LISGIS) 3 – Shapefile from John Etherton (personal communica2on)
• River Network: Diva-‐GIS4 • OpenStreetMap: Very detailed, but network is disconnected, and missing important rural roads
• Popula2on: LandScan5 or WorldPop6

Prior Work
• Eight runs of LocAll – WorldPop or LandScan ™ popula2on grids
– “Pa2ent Direct to ETU” or “Pa2ent to Clinic to ETU”
– Six or Seven ETUs placed – All outputs very similar
• Two runs of MapOp2mizer – LandScan + Direct – Six or Seven ETUs placed
