To find the efficient logistics strategy for the anthrax attack, the anthrax progression model and emergency logistics model under the traditional and collaboration modes are constructed based on the System Dynamics (SD) approach. Then, a combination mode that integrates the two modes is proposed. Through the simulation, we analysed some factors which can affect the rescue effect, and we studied which mode is the best logistics strategy response to the anthrax attacks. This study provides insights for the decision-makers who cope with the emergency events, such as the bioterrorists attacks.
