To aid those who have been affected by an earthquake, it is necessary to set up temporary relief facilities. The careful selection of suitable locations for these centers has a considerable impact on the procedures involved in the handling of urban emergencies. In this study, the decision model known as the VIKOR was used to determine the placement of relief centers in Cairo's district and the distribution of available space among them. The selection best location contains uncertainty, so the interval-valued neutrosophic sets were used to overwhelmed this vagueness. To begin, we will use VIKOR, which is the suggested clustering approach. The average method is used to compute the weights of selected criteria. Then the VIKOR technique is used to order and select the best location. The results of the implementation demonstrate that VIKOR, the clustering approach, is adequate in most situations. This strategy is suited for resolving such difficult site selection and allocation issues.
