The use of warehouse for storing relief items has been proven to improve efficiency, effectiveness and responsiveness while decreasing the cost incurred in the process. This research aimed to determine the optimal warehouse location by using the Center of gravity method with the considered alternative location are Palangkaraya, Banjarmasin, and Surabaya. The best results is in the area of Palangkaraya with minimum value of amounting to IDR 1, 133, 371, 000.00.
