This paper discusses methods for the solution of the combined zoning and location problem for several emergency units. This is a stochastic optimization problem. The stochastic aspects include ordered preference of servers. A constraint of equal workload for the servers is also dealt with. Non-linear programming techniques are adapted for its solution.
