Abstract: Indonesia is one of country which vulnerable to disaster. It is due to several factors: geographical condition which is located in tropical area and imbalanced of both rainfall and capacity to handle it. The impact from flood is the existence of disease, e.g., infection, diarrhoea, URI (Upper Respiratory Tract Infection) and skin problem. The victims of flood need special medicine to avoid some dangerous substance to enter their body. However, when flood happens there is a problem about the stock out of medicine. On the other hand, there are some medicines which over stock and it will hide inventory problem, e.g., unreliable vendor, scrap and others. It indicates that procurement management of medicine is not effective. This research aims are to minimize stock out and over stock of medicine through simulation approach which is using system dynamics evolutionary search algorithms. The reduction for possibility on stock out and over stock of diarrhoea, URI and skin problems medicine from 0, 85, 100, 40, 100 and 40%. Therefore, it can be concluded that simulation of system dynamics and evolutionary search algorithms can minimize the amount of stock out and over stock from medicine when flood happens.
