Abstract
Due to the frequent occurrence of numerous emergency events that have significantly damaged society and the economy, the need for emergency decision-making has been manifest recently. It assumes a controllable function when it is critical to limit property and personal catastrophes and lessen their negative consequences on the natural and social course of events. In emergency decision-making problems, the aggregation method is crucial, especially when there are more competing criteria. Based on these factors, we first introduced some basic concepts about SHFSS, and then we introduced some new aggregation operators such as the spherical hesitant fuzzy soft weighted average, spherical hesitant fuzzy soft ordered weighted average, spherical hesitant fuzzy weighted geometric aggregation, spherical hesitant fuzzy soft ordered weighted geometric aggregation, spherical hesitant fuzzy soft hybrid average, and spherical hesitant fuzzy soft hybrid geometric aggregation operator. The characteristics of these operators are also thoroughly covered. Also, an algorithm is developed within the spherical hesitant fuzzy soft environment. Furthermore, we extend our investigation to the Evaluation based on the Distance from Average Solution method in multiple attribute group decision-making with spherical hesitant fuzzy soft averaging operators. And a numerical illustration for "supply of emergency aid in post-flooding the situation" is given to show the accuracy of the mentioned work. Then a comparison between these operators and the EDAS method is also established in order to further highlight the superiority of the established work.
