Page 13 of 71 LCA – Timor-Leste Version 1.05
2.1.2. Port Overview • The port in Dili is the main and only international port of entry to Timor-Leste, the harbor is surrounded by a natural reef with only one clearly marked access route; the reef provides a natural protection against severe weather which can occur in the rainy season (typically November – February). • A single 280m long wharf can handle a maximum of three vessels at any one time and is nominally divided into three multi –functional berths with a draft of 5 - 9M. • JICA have undertaken a rehabilitation project to reconstruct the entire wharf due to structural defects in the original construction and subsequent dilapidation of the jetty, this is due to be completed by early 2010. • One ramp facilitating roll-on, roll-off vessels is located past the East end of the jetty, and one on the West side • Storage facilities are very limited and the port suffers from congestion, containers where the harbor master indicates a maximum capacity of 1,000 containers can be stored on the hard standing.

2.2.2.16. Security There is a fence surrounding the airport and several security providers maintaining a presence in the airport, this includes: a UNPOL patrol, approximately 20 BPU (Timorese Border Patrol Unit) personnel, and approximately 20 airport security officers. The access fence at the start of runway 26 (East-Northeast of the airport grounds) is closed with a locked gate, and not guarded. However, during unrest this access point is a good alternative if the public area of the main terminal building is volatile. The Airport directorate has procured a container x-ray scanner which should be established and operational in early 2010. Security Good Marginal Bad
2.2.2.17. Storage facilities The airport directorate does not provide any storage at present; this is left entirely to the two ground handling companies (SDV and STAT) that are currently operating in the airport, both have limited storage facilities in the airport and offer freight forwarding services. Their charges are summarized in sections 1.1.2.9 -11 above.

2.2.3.3. Humanitarian Carriers
A) UNMIT Movcon Movcon assets in the airport include 5 MI8 helicopters (3MT lifting capacity) and 2 beach craft, single engine planes that can lift 1650KG or 17 pax. UNMIY MI18s can serve approximately (pending conditions) 66 HLS (helicopter landing sites) across all 13 districts. The flight schedule is available on through the Obrigado booking office ext 5753. Booking procedures for UN staff: 1. Complete Movcon MoP (movement of personnel) form for flights. (NB: there are two versions of the MoP for land and air transport). 2. Produce a covering letter requesting the travel arrangements from agencies country director (or equivalent). 3. Provide copies of UN ID and/or passport (for international travel) for any staff travelling. 4. Complete liability release form for UN consultants (or equivalent). 5. MoP form is then signed by the DSRSG (deputy special representative of the secretary general) CAS (chief of administrative services) and Movcon. 6. The signed MoP then serves as an authorised ticket to travel. Non UN personnel can travel on UNMIT flights when they are working in conjunction with UN agencies and are vouched for by their partner agency, the booking procedures are the same except there is an MoP especially for Non –UN personnel. For latest schedules and any enquires and/or clarifications, please contact the Mission Air Operations Centre: ([email protected] ) or MOVCON Passengers Booking Office at extension 5735 or 4054.
B) Mission Aviation Fellowship (MAF) MAF is an INGO offering subsidised flights to remote and isolated regions in Timor-Leste since 2007. MAF operate a single GA8 aircraft, approximately 50% of their flights are medivacs, 40% NGO travel to remote locations and 10% private charters (only the private charters are not subsidised). MAF set a maximum limit of 6 pax or 400Kg per flight for the GA8 (pending conditions and flight time etc) for the GA8 (http://www.gippsaero.com/ZoneID=143.htm ) MAF is currently serving the following locations in Timor-Leste: Suai 30 minutes flight Maliana 20 minutes flight Oecussi 45 minutes flight Baucau 30 minutes flight Los Palos 45 minutes flight
MAF have surveyed three additional disused airstrips in Timor-Leste (Same, Viqueque and Atauro) which could be rehabilitated with minimal time and costs, this would be a beneficial for aviation communications in Timor-Leste. As light aircraft are approximately 3 times less expensive to run than helicopters so would be a more feasible option for the Government of Timor-Leste.

According to the ADB national road network master plan; almost the entire core road network needs rehabilitation as road conditions demonstrate premature deterioration due to lack of routine and preventative maintenance which is compounded by intense rainfall and unstable geotechnical conditions. Areas of high elevation are suffering from landslides and erosive degradation whereas low lying areas are prone to seasonal flooding.
Road Condition National District Total Fair 122 9% 0 0% 122 8% Poor 351 26% 9 4% 360 22% Very Poor 879 65% 249 96% 1,128 70% Total km 1,352 258 1,610
The rural road networks are of serious concern as substantial portions of the population are inaccessible for significant periods in the rainy season, creating severe challenges for organizations attempting to implement humanitarian programs within the rural areas.
General Road Conditions:
Boa : Good. Razovael: Acceptable for most vehicle types, with narrow and steep sections. Ma: Accessible with 4x4 and certain trucks, often dangerous during wet season.

Page 38 of 71 LCA – Timor-Leste Version 1.05
The Directorate of Roads, Bridges and Flood Control (DRBFC) readily admit that the road classifications do not always reflect the physical condition of the road itself, national roads can sometimes be little more than dirt tracks, in general they are better than district roads etc.

Travel times in Timor-Leste vary significantly between the wet and dry seasons, in the rainy season use of local intelligence is highly advisable when undertaking transports or visiting districts.
2.3.6. Road Security At present there are no significant security issues to contend with for road travel in Timor-Leste as there are very low levels of road banditry etc. Pending any large scale outbreak of civil unrest and alike. Security Good Marginal Bad
2.3.7. Weighbridges There are several commercial weigh bridges available in Timor-Leste, however lack of maintenance raises questions of reliability and accuracy with most of them.

2.3.8. Axle Load Limits There are currently no axle road limitations in Timor-Leste, they are under the responsibility of the DRBFC who is currently in the process of developing legislation prescribing regulations for axle limitations.
2.3.9. Bridges Bridges are a key feature for Timor due to the range of mountainous areas in proximity to the coastline; all routes feature a high frequency of river or ravine crossings. Although most of the river beds are completely dry in the dry season they are prone to extensive flash flooding in wet weather. Bridge construction and rehabilitation projects have been undertaken (notably a joint EU – GoTL project reconstructing five major bridges on the Viqueque – Los Palos road) and there are many good bridges in place. However; many areas, especially rural ones still require further work. Of particular noteworthiness is Oecussi where the majority of the enclave is cut off by the Tono river (as there are no bridges or crossing points as yet). On district highland roads there are small bridges that should be assessed in order to ascertain the maximum loads they can reasonably support; care and due diligence should be exercised in contracting transportation to such areas.

Rural roads within the Districts (connecting villages to towns / hubs) From Lautem to Luro: The Lautem - Luro is a random example of the rural road conditions, the road crosses a river bed that would be completely impassable throughout the rainy season, cutting off many rural and hill top villages and inhabitants significantly compounding the problems of rural poverty for the inhabitants. At higher elevations erosive effects seriously degrade the surface to soil and rubble, even in the dry season 4x4 driving is required to reach the first of many highland villages.

There are no lakes with any kind of shipping transportation capability, the rivers in Timor-Leste are dry for most of the year and it is beyond the scope of the LCA to assess the international shipping lines serving Timor-Leste. However there are two features of Ocean transportation based in Dili that are worthy of note:

3.2. Transporters
3.2.1. Transport Market Overview (trucking) According to the ADB road network assessment: • Transport demand and vehicle ownership in Timor-Leste are modest. However, both have been growing substantially over the last five years. • The heaviest traffic flows, in excess of 1,000 vehicles per day (without motorcycle), are on the northern coastal road. Vehicle Type Estimated Total Estimated Total 2005 2009 Pickups, vans, and minibuses 3,303 3123
Light & medium trucks 2,167 2127 Heavy & specialized trucks 61 89
Weather and coffee production are two major factors affecting traffic: • The rainy season has a direct impact on traffic patterns. The duration of the rainy season can vary for different areas of the country, between an average of 4 months (from December to March) and 8 months (from November to June). • Landslides and flooding, which are common during the rainy season, cause frequent road closures. Another factor affecting traffic patterns over the year is the location of the coffee production and harvesting activities. • The coffee harvest season peaks between August and September. During that season the light & medium truck traffic in the coffee growing areas and between them and Dili increases significantly. • There are a small number of heavy trucks, about 90 in total, used mainly for transporting containers and large equipment, but the narrow road width and difficult terrain do not allow for large truck operations in Timor-Leste. • Currently, land transport services between the Timor-Leste mainland and the Oecussi enclave are complicated. All people crossing the border, from West Timor in Indonesia, are required to have passports with valid Indonesian visas, and Indonesian visas can be obtained only in Dili. Thus, currently the number of people and vehicles crossing is still low although it is increasing.
3.2.2. Transporters • Although the transportation market in Timor-Leste is notably immature, there is a variety of transportation companies operation, from established companies to private owners. • A selection (by no means exhaustive) from across the range of transporters is listed below. • There are multiple resources for contacting additional transporters in Dili, further details can be found from the following resources: http://www.buy-in-timor.org , Timor Telecom directory, Timor-Leste yellow pages www.timoryp.com and the guide post timor www.guideposttimor.com

3.7. Electricity / Power
3.7.1. Electricity Overview World Bank Energy Brief (extracts): Timor-Leste has a small and fragmented power system. A 19MW diesel power plant in Dili serves 26,500 Dili customers. District and sub-district capitals are served by some 60 isolated small power sub- systems mainly administered by communities and with a total generation capacity (mainly using diesel) of about 16 MW. The Dili power system is not linked to smaller sub-systems in district capitals and rural areas. Large consumers have captive diesel generation of another 10 MW.34 out of 39 new generators installed in sub-district capitals are no longer functioning because there is no capacity for maintenance and for funding the replenishment of diesel stock. Only 32 percent of households have access to electricity and over 90 percent of the population uses firewood for cooking. The household electrification rate in Dili is estimated at about 85 percent while in the district capitals and rural areas, it is only 18 percent and 5 percent, respectively. Most of the households use firewood for cooking and extensive use of firewood is considered a thread to Timor-Leste’s wooded areas.

3.7.2. Electricity Generation Timor-Lestes’ power department EDTL has two twenty four hour, diesel run, power generation plants in Dili and Baucau both of which produce a 7MW output and have a budgeted consumption of 10,000 litres of diesel per day. However increasing development and construction projects are placing a larger strain on the network with increasing demands for electricity. The remaining districts have smaller localise power generating plants, these run for six hours per day between 18:00 and midnight and have a budgeted consumption of 10,000 litres per month. EDTL is in the process of establishing three (controversial) heavy oil power generating plants in Hera (Dili), Manitutu and Same, these will have a combined capacity of 180MW, the first of these power plants is currently being constructed as is due to be 90% complete by the end of 2009.

3.8. Manual Labour Costs There is an abundance of manual labor available on the market in Timor-Leste, the vast majority of which is simply arranged on an ad hoc basis, there is very little in the way of organized manual labor. The port authority regulations stipulate rates for labor hire within the port itself, the labor is arranged through the stevedoring companies (see section 3.6 Handling equipment for details of stevedoring companies) who still appear to set prices autonomously, through direct negotiation. The port regulation prices are as follows:
CATEGORIES OF PERSONNEL HOURLY CHARGES Technicians and senior managers 7.50 USD Operational managers 6.50 USD Equipment operators 5.00 USD Specialised workers and operators 4.00 USD Unqualified dockworkers and sailors 3.50 USD Assistants 3.00 USD The normal labor rate for unqualified casual worker is USD 4 per day. There is one identified commercial employment agency in Dili which offer labor hire, Konnekkto, whilst WFP has assisted an additional organization establish and register itself in order to meet WFP requirements:

4. Scenarios & Contingencies
• Presently (October 2009) all agencies are working through the sectoral clusters, in conjunction with government partners to up date the contingency planning exercises for emergency response in Timor-Leste. The clusters have been tasked with completing the exercise by the end of 2009. • The conflict and natural disaster contingency plans below are summarized from the DNAS (National Department of Social Assistance) plans completed in 2007, whilst the food security plan is the latest version (which is still being developed).
• The government of Timor-Leste has some established departments and mechanisms to deal with national disasters, these are under the auspices of the Ministry of Social Solidarity and include the National Department Management Directorate (NDMD) National Department of Social Assistance(DNAS), Disaster Operations Center (DOC), and the National Disaster Management Policy (NDMP). • The humanitarian community has been working closely with the Government of Timor-Leste assisting in the development of these structures.
4.1. Refugees and IDPs
Contingency Planning for conflict: As outlined by the National Disaster Management Office: History: • Triggered by the sacking of a group of 593 soldiers, a series of events in March 2006 led to outbreaks of violence in Timor-Leste on a scale which has not been seen since the period immediately prior to the referendum over independence in 1999. • This violence, which involved F-FDTL and PNTL officers as well as armed civilians, led to the deaths of civilians and security personnel, the destruction of homes, a breakdown of law and order and government functions, looting of government property and the displacement of over 100,000 people. • By mid-2007 the violence has sub-sided however underlying tensions still exist that could easily be brought to the surface. Contingency planning to minimize and mitigate the effects of further outbreaks of conflict is an important exercise.
Scenario A • Associated with the parliamentary elections there are spikes of violence in Dili and in the districts for 3 – 4 days. • Up to 10,000 people are displaced in Dili and Districts resulting in a 10 percent increase in IDPs, most of whom are absorbed into current camps or move in with relatives, but some may set up new camps. • In the Districts IDPs move in with relatives. If there are security problems, some may run to the mountains. • New IDPs in the camps put additional pressure on already strained resources. • Outbreaks of violent conflict could occur in the camps as larger numbers compete for reduced resources. • The government continues to function with minor disruptions. Electricity, water, sewerage, rubbish collection, communications, hospital/health, education, transport services continue with minor disruption. • Shops and banks close for up to 3 days. Food security of the population is only marginally affected.
Scenario B • The violence is of increased intensity, frequency and lasts for 5 – 8 days • 25,000 people are displaced in Dili and districts, move into camps, move in with relatives. • There is movement from Dili to districts to rural areas. 5-10 new camps are established. • In the Districts IDPs move in with relatives. Where there are security problems IDPs run to the mountains.
Page 66 of 71 LCA – Timor-Leste Version 1.05
• New IDPs in the camps put additional pressure on already strained resources. Outbreaks of violent conflict may occur in the camps as large numbers compete for dwindling resources.
Scenario C • There is widespread sustained civil unrest centering on Dili • 35,000 people displaced in Dili and the districts. Movement from Dili to districts to rural areas. 10-20 new camps are set up. • In the Districts IDPs move in with relatives. Where there are security problems IDPs run to the mountains. • New IDPs in the camps put additional pressure on already strained resources supporting current IDPs. Outbreaks of violent conflict are likely to occur in the camps as large numbers compete for dwindling resources. • Many Government functions shut down. Electricity, sewerage, water, rubbish collection, communications, hospital/health, education and transport services not available. Shops and banks close. Livelihood sources cut off. Food security of population at risk. • Government food supplies are lost due to looting of warehouses.
Responses: Rapid assessments: District administrators, DDMCs, humanitarian agencies. Shelter: MTRC, IOM, UNHCR, ICRC WATSAN: DNAS & WATSAN working group (Oxfam, UNICEF, World Vision, Plan, CRS, and CVTL). Food and NFIs: MTRC, WFP, local partners. Camp management: MTRC and shelter working group. Protection: MTRC and protection working group. Transport: IOM, CARE and humanitarian agencies
NOTE: IOM during the 2006 – 2007 emergency was the main provider of logistics and transport services. The IOM fleet comprises of around 12 – 16 functional trucks with a capacity of between 3 – 8 MT.

4.3. Natural Disaster
Contingency Planning for Natural Disaster / Flooding
Background • Timor-Leste is highly vulnerable to natural disasters such as floods, drought, earthquakes, cyclones, landslides, storms and bush fires. • These types of natural disasters take place almost every year, which have great impact on community livelihood. • Statistics show that flood has been the most common disaster in this country and has devastated the lives of the population in affected areas. • Flood normally takes place during the wet seasons. The first wet season starts from November and last in April throughout the country, while the second wet season starts in May and lasts until July in the southern coast of the island each year. • During the period of the wet season, there are threats from floods, landslides, tropical storms, and destructive strong winds. • Other hazards, such as earthquakes and tsunamis can strike the Timor-Leste at any time due to its geographical location north of the subduction zone between the Eurasian and the Australian plates. • Yet, in spite of predictions of this kind and the history of devastating events across the island, efforts to mitigate against the effects of the future disasters have been minimal and the country’s state of preparedness is seriously lacking.
Approach • Recognizing that Timor-Leste is prone to a range of natural disasters, the NDMO has recently completed the National Disaster Risk Management Plan (NDRMP).
Objective • The main objective of the contingency plan is to save lives; to alleviate further suffering of the vulnerable communities; and to reduce the impact of disaster. • The specific objective of the contingency plan is to prevent a major disease outbreak, help vulnerable groups to become self-sufficient and protect food supplies and livelihoods for the coming year in the event of flooding.
Page 68 of 71 LCA – Timor-Leste Version 1.05
Scenario A : • Late rain – limited rain – localized flooding, some temporary movement. • Central areas within Dili are flooded. • Districts are affected through some destruction of crops and disruption to infrastructure (roads etc). • Additional strain on those communities housing IDPs in Baucau and Los Palos particularly. • Short-term disruption of government services and movement. High-risk IDP camps are affected and evacuation is sought. • Impact on communities is not severe but sufficient for food and health concerns. • Associated - drought onset.
Scenario B : • Late rain – heavy rain for 3 months or more resulting in substantial damage. • Newly planted crops destroyed. Food shortages. Houses damaged especially along river banks. • Disruption of transport – roads cut off. Livestock drownings, agriculture/crops damaged or destroyed, education stopped, socio-economic activity disrupted. Bridge collapsing, roads cut off, landslides. • Electricity and water supply cut off.
Dili • Areas that are prone to flooding include the following: Becora, Taibesi, Bidau Santana, Caicoli (up to 2m), Comoro, Jardim, Ville Verde, Heliport , Bombeiros, Airport, • Within 1-3 hours of torrential rain or constant rainfall the following can/will occur: the destruction of housing, disruption of economic activity, drowning of domestic livestock. • With severe flooding in Dili it is possible that elements of the population may attempt to travel to the districts. • It is critical that affected populations are ready to move within an hour of flooding. This plan is also cogniscent that local knowledge and localized response mechanisms will prevail in many circumstances. • It should also be noted that in case of severe flooding, there will be a loss of information and assets to the districts, and a loss of information coming in from the districts to Dili.
Districts • The districts prone to severe flooding are Cova Lima, Manufahi and Manatuto. • The northern districts receive an average yearly rainfall of 500-1500mm with the southern regions receiving 1500 to 2000mm. Altitudes usually receive a higher annual rainfall. • In February 2006 flooding and landslides occurred in Oecussi, in 2008 flooding following a river deviating from its original bed ravaged through Liquica with major loss of houses and destructed roads and bridges..
