2.1.2 Haiti Port of Jacmel Port Overview The port of Jacmel is a small port operated under the supervision of APN in the Sud-Est Departement of Haiti, next to the town of Jacmel. The port has a total workable surface of approximately 1700 sqm. Located on the southern coast of the country, it is the closest location to receive cargo traffic from the main ports of the Dominican Republic (Rio Haina and Caucedo). It does not receive shipments from major global shipping lines (these call PauP by feeder vessel) or large regional lines (PauP). Cargo also comes from Antilles (Guadeloupe, Martinique, Saint – Martin), mainly vehicle shipment through containers (no regular service). There is a customs office (in town located in same facility as that of the aviation authorities). The location of the port in the south of the island allows greater access to southern areas of the country in an emergency. However, there is very limited storage capacity and cargo traffic to Haiti is only moved through the port sporadically.

No stevedore companies or transporters are based at the port, but can be arranged (stevedores through relevant shipping agents). For more information on port contacts, please see the following link: 4.3 Haiti Port and Waterways Companies Contact List. Handling Equipment There is no shore-based cargo-handling equipment available at the port and no stevedore company located there. Stevedores are organized by shipping agents. Cargo such as rice or grain (in bulk) can be handled with bagging machines located alongside the vessel. Storage and Hinterland There is no dedicated covered storage facility at the port. Imported cargo generally needs to be moved out of the port area directly. Fully laden trucks need to leave the port area immediately in order to avoid creating bottlenecks, due to limited space. No transport companies are based at the port, but trucks can be hired from Port au Prince or other locations.

Between the two, they had an abundance of stories about how they came to build a clinic in Haiti. I told them, without a doubt, the book would write itself. Deciding why I wanted to tell their story was the more difficult part. This book is about the lives of Dick and Barb Hammond and their work in Haiti for over thirty years. It is a story about their love for the Haitian people. It is about one couple’s dedication to helping in a country where the need is great, and change is slow. It is a story about determination, passion, and hope. I knew I wanted to share their story, but I also wanted to be clear about why it was important to tell.

Operation Unified Response – Haiti Earthquake 2010
Unified Response ver. 1 Nov 2010 Operation Unified Response – Haiti Earthquake 2010 Asst. Professor David R. DiOrio – Joint Forces Staff College On January 12, 2010, a massive 7.0 magnitude earthquake centered 25 km southwest of Port-au-Prince, Haiti killed over 230,000 people, injured another 300,000, and created over one million homeless (IWG, 2010). An estimated 45,000 Americans were stranded. The country’s infrastructure was decimated. A majority of air and sea transport facilities became inoperable. Hospitals were destroyed and key access roads were blocked with debris which greatly hampered rescue and aid efforts. Six field hospitals at schools and stadiums were established within a few days, but the medical situation was bleak. The Haitian government (GoH), with a majority of civil leadership dead, was paralyzed. On the day of the quake, the President of Haiti declared a national emergency confirmed by the U.S. Ambassador to Haiti and both requested immediate assistance from the United States and the international community (USSOUTHCOM OPORD 01-10, 2010). The overall security situation in Haiti remained amazing calm, but delays in relief supply distribution led to angry appeals from aid workers and survivors. Looting and violence was sporadic and local police presence was virtually non-existent. Four thousand inmates from the Prison Civile de Port-au-Prince were unleashed on the public. Haiti is the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere, and now the already fragile economy Day 1 - Collapse of the Presidential Palace was in shambles. The power grid, marginal even before the quake, was devastated and there were no available petroleum reserves for generators.

On July 2-4, 2007, sixty representatives of international and national non-governmental organizations, grassroots groups, the Haitian government and other key stakeholders for Haiti’s environment created the Kowalisyon Nasyonal pou Anviwonman Ayisyen (KNAA), or Haitian National Coalition for the Environment. The Coalition brings together the many groups, organizations and institutions devoted to restoring Haiti’s natural environment, uniting them around key goals and strengthening their impact through exchange, coordination and collaboration. The Haitian National Coalition for the Environment works on a national, grassroots level to attack the root causes of environmental degradation by promoting exchange and solidarity to help: * Undertake massive, intensive reforestation, * Combat the misery of poverty, and * Research and promote alternative energy. Will your organization become a formal member of the Coalition? Each organization that decides to participate in the coalition will designate one representative. In this way, all the members of the coalition will be equal. In order to participate in the Coalition you must meet one simple condition: all member organizations must be committed to working to protect, rehabilitate and/or renew Haiti’s environment.

2.2 Haiti Aviation Haiti Aviation
2.2 Haiti Aviation Haiti Aviation Key airport information may also be found at: World Aero Data Website information on Haiti Air transport is the main channel for passenger traffic. Port-au-Prince international airport is the biggest of the country, where basically all humanitarian and development workers arrive in Haiti. In the weeks following the 2010 earthquake, the main access road between the Dominican Republic and Port-au- Prince was frequently utilized, because Santo Domingo was one of the main entry points at the beginning of the relief operation. But as of today, Port-au- Prince International Airport is again the almost only entry point for passengers. The second international airport of the country is located in the North, at Cap-Haitien. This airport is however not equipped to receive cargo. A number of smaller airports and air fields are present in Haiti, together with numerous Helicopter Landing Zones (HLZ) for internal passenger movements and limited cargo. International flights are available to the United States, Dominican Republic, Cuba, Guadalupe, other Caribbean Island and France. Not all operators are however endorsed by UNDSS, limiting the choice and options for official travels. Other than commercial operators, the UN Stabilisation Mission in Haiti, MINUSTAH, operates its own flights between Port- au-Prince and Santo Domingo, and a number of domestic flights. Those flights are reserved to MINUSTAH personnel and rarely available to other UN Agencies and/or NGOs. Regular cargo flights serve Port-au-Prince International Airport to deliver fresh goods. Even if badly damaged during the 2010 earthquake and already unadapted, aging, and incapable to meet the standards of international traffic and the needs of a local traffic, Port-au-Price International Airport continues to serve as a vital link for Haiti.

Humanitarian Relief in Haiti, 2010: Honing the Partnership Between the US Air Force and the UN*
Humanitarian Relief in Haiti, 2010: Honing the Partnership between the US Air Force and the UN* Robert C. Owen The recent interaction between the United States Air Force (USAF) and UN organizations and personnel during the 2010 Haiti Earthquake relief effort points to a further opportunity to refine their ability to partner in future humanitarian relief (HR) operations. During the Haiti operation, UN and USAF personnel cooperated to a greater degree than they had in years, both in the field and at a key operational headquarters. The exceptional circumstances of the emergency mandated this close cooperation. Logistically, the early weeks of the Haiti relief constituted a High-intensity, Restricted-infrastructure (HIRI) airlift operation. With the main seaport inoperative, large quantities of relief supplies had to move through Port-au-Prince’s Toussaint Louverture International Airport (International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) airport identifier: MTPP). In short order, the press of government, chartered, and private aircraft trying to get into the field overwhelmed its ground infrastructure and created a hazardous air safety environment. Too battered by the disaster to deal with the situation itself, the Haitian government placed control of access to the airport and ground operations on the main parking ramp in the hands of USAF organizations engaged in the relief effort. When faced by growing criticisms of its efforts to prioritize access to the airport by aircraft operated by dozens of governments and civil relief agencies, the USAF for the first time invited the UN World Food Programme’s Humanitarian Air Services (UNHAS) into its regional headquarters to supervise the lift.

Operation HESTIA: Statistics The area of responsibility Port-au-Prince The command team, support element and flying operations by the air component were based at Toussaint Louverture International Airport in Port-au-Prince, the capital of Haiti. Léogâne Léogâne is a municipal district with a population of 130,000 located about 30 km west of Port-au-Prince, very close to the epicentre of the earthquake. Estimates set the extent of damage to city infrastructure close to 90 percent. Most of the Canadian Forces humanitarian effort focussed on Léogâne. Jacmel The earthquake destroyed 20 to 30 percent of all structures in Jacmel, a city of 40,000 tucked into the southern coast of Haiti. Jacmel was difficult to reach by ground transport, as the quake damaged the road system extensively. Canada rapidly deployed the frigate HMCS Halifax, the Disaster Assistance Response Team (DART), and specialized groups to help open and operate the local airport. Joint Task Force Haiti: Composition and activities Joint Task Force Haiti Headquarters The headquarters of Joint Task Force Haiti was responsible for co-ordinating the work of the task force with its partners, and comprised more than 200 CF members with expertise in areas such as signals, mapping, human resources administration, finance, and co-ordination of operations.
