Disaster management minimizes potential harm and protects populations across four phases: preparedness, mitigation, response, and recovery. Diverse scientific approaches could be applied at each phase, among which Multi-Criteria Decision-Making (MCDM) methods are widely recognized and utilized. Their integration provides a systematic framework for prioritizing disaster-related criteria, optimizing resource use, and minimizing environmental impact, ultimately enhancing community resilience. This study conducts a bibliometric analysis to identify pioneering researchers, leading institutions, contributing countries, and interaction levels working on MCDM methods in disaster management and emergency transportation, as well as to reveal key trends. 365 Web of Science and Scopus publications (2000–2024) were analyzed using the Bibliometrix tool in R. As a significant outcome, three important clusters emerged: Disaster Planning and Logistics, Risk and Resilience, and Crisis Response and Decision Support. The interplay between these clusters and the methodologies shaping them was highlighted, alongside insights from the most recent studies. This study could serve as a roadmap for future research, guiding efforts to address gaps such as real-time applications, multi-hazard integration, and scalability. It contributes to the limited body of research on MCDM in disaster management and emergency transportation, laying the groundwork for upcoming studies that could enhance resilience and promote sustainable development.
