In order to avoid the huge hidden dangers caused by emergencies, it is particularly vital to make a reasonable pre-location and layout of emergency logistics facilities. A multi-objective pre-location model of temporary distribution station for emergency materials was built, which considered the problems of information shortage and uncertain demand after the incident with minimum time, maximum time satisfaction, minimum delivery cost and psychological trauma to the masses. The priority of candidate points was solved by comprehensive evaluation methods, the nominal demand of served points was estimated by triangular fuzzy number theory (TFN), and the location model was solved by non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm. In addition, the optimal schemes without priority and considering it were compared and analyzed, the practicability of the model is verified by concrete examples. The results show the time and cost reduction of 7.754% and 25.651%, an increment of total satisfaction value of the scheme considering location priority. Therefore, the model and algorithm provide theoretical support and practical ideas for solving the location problem, which can better complete the task of the location problem for temporary distribution stations of urban emergency materials.
