Adequate and timely supply of blood and blood products in times of disaster plays an undeniable role in reducing the mortality rate. In this study, a robust bi-objective two-stage dynamic model at three echelons of supply, processing, and distribution is presented to design a supply chain network of whole blood and blood components in disaster situations. The network under consideration consists of blood donors, various collection facilities (permanent, temporary, and mobile), different vehicle types, blood centers, and demand points. Also, due to the criticality of blood supply and the unacceptability of shortages, it is assumed that when needed, blood shortages are compensated for by a backup supplier. To improve productivity and reduce the shortages, the collected blood is classified into eight blood groups. Further, the blood can be decomposed to its components at the blood center.
