Reestablishing functionality to network infrastructure following a
damaging event is an essential component of any disaster recovery plan.

recovery efforts need to be prioritized to ensure repairs take place as
efficiently as possible. This paper details a multi-objective spatial
optimization approach for prioritizing recovery efforts with respect to
budgetary and scheduling constraints.
