1.2.3.1. Government
National Disaster Response Structure As a result of the disasters that have plagued Yemen over the last three decades, the strengthening and the establishment of a disaster management body is receiving greater attention from the Government of Yemen (GoY). To this end the Government took many significant steps such as: • Enactment of the Decree No. 24 on Civil Defense (CD) on April 1997, which supports an effective disaster management. Articles under this decree outline Civil Defense procedures and the composition of the ‘Supreme Council of Civil Defense’ (SCCD), which is established under the chairmanship of the Minister of Interior. The temporary powers of the Civil Defense are furthermore outlined in the Decree. • In 1997 the Council of Ministers issued decree No. 52 on forming a committee to prepare a possible approach to tackle Disaster Management. • Following the above-mentioned decree the Minister of Planning and Development issued Decree No 123 of 7 October 1997 with the aim of forming a committee to prepare a proposal to establish an ‘ institute for managing natural disasters ’. • On the Government’s side, Civil Defense at the Ministry of Interior is the principle government organization in charge of disaster response in the country, with the participation of other relevant parts of the government including: o Supreme Council for Civil Defense (SCCD), o Ministry of Defense , o Ministry of Public Works & Roads , o Ministry of Public Health & Population, o Ministry of Agriculture and Irrigation, o Ministry of Water and Environment, o Ministry of Information, o Ministry of Planning and International Cooperation, o Ministry of Social Affairs and Labor, o GARWAP 1 Water Authority o Ministry of Local Administration, o General Authority for Survey and Land Registration, o Civil Defense Councils/Committees at the Governorate level
Military and Civil Defense Assets • Currently military and civil defense assets are not used in relief operations due to security sensitivities; consequently there are no established humanitarian civil military coordination mechanisms in place.

1.4. Customs Information
1.4.1. Duties and Taxes Exemption
A) Emergency Response:
Agreements / Conventions Description Ratified by Country? WCO (World Customs Organization) member Yes July 1993 Annex J-5 Revised Kyoto Convention No OCHA Model Agreement No Tampere Convention (on the Provision of Telecommunication Resources for No Disaster Mitigation and Relief Operations) Regional Agreements (on emergency/disaster response, but also customs Yemen is an observer government of unions, regional integration) the World Trade Organization (WTO).
• The only international body of Customs law that contains a specific chapter binding states to facilitate the work of intergovernmental and non-governmental organizations in implementing humanitarian assistance is the revised Kyoto Convention on the Simplification and Harmonization of Customs Procedures (with its Annex J-5 on the Special Procedure for Relief Material). • Furthermore Yemen has neither signed nor ratified the Tampere Convention on the Provision of Telecommunication Resources for Disaster Mitigation and Relief Operations or the Convention on Assistance in the Case of a Nuclear Accident or Radiological Emergency. • The WTO helps trade flow smoothly, freely, fairly and predictably”. Its roles are:
• Acting as a forum for trade negotiations • Administering trade agreements • Settling trade disputes • Reviewing national trade policies • Assisting developing countries in trade policy issues, through technical assistance and training programmes • Cooperating with other international organizations • More information can be found at www.wto.org.
B) Exemption Regular Regime (Non-Emergency Response) :
National Customs Legislation and Regime (provide a brief summary and list available resource documents) • The Customs Department of Yemen takes their guidance from decrees set out by relevant ministries. • As such, all humanitarian aid is free from any tax and customs duties as per decree number 216 dated 5/12/2005 and from decree number 285 from 2007, both established by the Ministry of Finance. • The Custom Department is under the auspices of the Ministry of Finance. • Note: Despite the above decrees, regional customs authorities tend to have their respective interpretations and particularities.
Organizational Requirements to Obtain a Duty Free Status United Nations Agencies • A memorandum of understanding or basic agreement between the respective agency and the government needs to be established and should stipulate the tax exempt status of the agency.
• Subsequent operational documents can be more specifying detail; "from the agreed point of delivery all expenses, including inter alia the cost of import duties, taxes, levies, as well as harbour, wharfage, warehousing, lighterage, landing, sorting and similar dues, including specifically all formalities and expenses relating to legalization of shipping documents and other certificates, will be paid or waived by the government".
NGOs • A memorandum of understanding or basic agreement between the respective organisation and the government needs to be established and should stipulate the tax exempt status of the organisation.
C) Exemption Certificate Application Procedure :
9/115 LCA -
Duties and Taxes Exemption Application Procedure Generalities
• Tax exemption applications for cargo used in humanitarian projects are processed by the Ministry of Planning and International Cooperation. • Goods for office use, staffs personal effects and emergency shipments are processed by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. • The exemption procedures are the same for INGO's and UN agencies.
Required documentation includes; • Tax and Duties exemption application form. • Airway bill / Bill of Lading. • Invoice. • Packing list. • Certificate of origin.
Process to be followed (step by step / flowchart)
• The application for a duties and taxes exemption may be obtained by an exemption clearing agent and it is issued by the Ministry of Finance.
The procedure is as follows: 1. Receive the shipment’s Original Bill of Lading, attached with Original Supporting Documents. 2. Complete the provided exemption forms. There are two different sets of forms, depending on the type of import:
a) The first set, which is for aid consignments. This is filled by the implementing partner and goes to Ministry of Planning and International Cooperation for further processing (continue from step 3).
b) The second set of forms, (for office equipment and employee personal effects). This goes to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs with a covering letter from the importing organisation. The customs offices then finalize the procedures and return the documentation (after approximately one week). Then the approval is sent to the seaport or airport and the goods are cleared.
3. From the Ministry of Planning and International Cooperation, the forms are sent to the respective ministries under whose auspices the projects are implemented and the goods are used.
4. From these ministries, the documentation is submitted to the Ministry of Finance, for provision of an exemption letter to the customs authority.
• NB: For Health and Education projects exemption clearances are processed through the Ministry of Planning and International Cooperation. • • The total process takes approximately 1-2 weeks.

General • For all documentation, original copies are required; however, for centralized clearances in Sana'a copies may be permissible. All other ports of entry / locations original documentation is insisted upon. • It is recommended invoices state the CIF (Cost Insurance and Freight) value of the goods as this greatly facilitates reconciliation process with MoPIC. • Reportedly customs procedures can appear inconsistent; regarding documentary requirements, lead times, Ministries have been known to lose documents and request replacements on several occasions. • Where the country of origin has a Yemeni Embassy supporting documentation should be stamped by the Yemen embassy in the country of origin. In Sana’a there is a processing fee for documents not having this stamp which is generally less than the cost of attaining the embassy stamp in the country of origin. • The packing list should be translated to Arabic before sending it to the authority. • The Airway Bill and Bill of Lading should include CIF and its value.
Seeds • Consent of the Ministry of Agriculture must be obtained and registered with the Customs Authority before they can be released.
Medicines • Additional approvals are required for pharmaceuticals from the Supreme Board of Medicines and the MoH. • MoH approvals are only valid for 1 month, applications have to be resubmitted if the approval has expired due to delay in shipment of the goods. • Customs can also request inspection by the Yemen Standardisation, Metrology & Quality Control organisation for clearance (although this is not common).
Vehicles • For vehicles separate tax exemption applications are required for each vehicle, even when multiple vehicles are listed on a single Bill of Lading. • For leased vehicles, lease documentation is not accepted and proof of purchase must be provided. • Only new vehicles are accepted for MoPIC applications – for use in humanitarian projects. • Used vehicles can be imported through MoFA applications – for office use or as staffs' personal effects. In this case only temporary importation is permitted and the used vehicles must be re-exported at a later date. • Documentation for vehicles can be accepted in English as the specifications are easily understood, all other commodities require complete documentation in Arabic.
Staff / Office Supplies • Please note different declaration documentation is required depending on the end use of the commodity, relief operations and Office supplies / personal effects (as mentioned above). • Staffs personal affects do not require certificate of origin or invoice (as they are expected to be used goods for personal / non-commercial use).
Telecommunication Equipment • Telecommunication equipment requires authorization from the Ministry of Telecommunications which in turn requires endorsements from National Security and Political Security and in addition the MoFA / MoPIC approval. • Subsequently, after arrival telecommunications equipment is inspected by an importation committee which comprises; National Security, Political Security and Ministry of Telecommunications. This committee can reject clearances if any specifications differ from those stated in approved tax exemption documentation. • Attaining tax exemptions and customs clearances for telecommunications equipment can be difficult as they are considered to be very sensitive given the current situation in Yemen.

2. Logistics Infrastructure
2.1. Port Assessment Introduction:
• Yemen’s main ports are Aden , Al Hudaydah , Al Mukalla , and Mocha ; Aden is the primary port. In addition, Ras Isa serves as the loading point for oil exports, and a small amount of cargo passes through Nishtoon. • Facilities at Aden consist of the Maalla Terminal and the Aden Container Terminal (ACT), which opened in March 1999. • In November 2003, following the October 2002 bombing of the French supertanker Limburg off the Yemen coast and the resultant dramatic drop in throughput at the Aden port, the Port of Singapore Authority sold its majority stake in the ACT back to the Yemeni government. • In June 2005, Dubai Ports International was selected to manage and operate the ACT (and possibly Maalla Terminal) under a 30-year or longer contract; the Yemeni government will remain a minority shareholder. • However, in May 2006 the London insurance market’s Joint War Committee placed Yemen on its list of “areas of perceived enhanced risk,” which is expected to add a war-risk insurance premium to ships operating in the country’s coastal waters. This added premium, coupled with the availability of more secure ports in neighboring countries, will likely result in reduced throughput in Yemen’s ports in the near future

4. Scenarios & Contingencies
• The following text is summarized from the 2009 Interagency Contingency Plan and from initial findings of an UNCHR – OCHA EPR mission in December 2009.
Summary of Country’s Crisis Situations
• Natural and human caused disasters are on the rise in type, frequency and intensity in most of the twenty one governorates of Yemen. • Floods, disease outbreaks, earthquakes, influx of refugees, locust outbreaks, drought and civil unrest characterize the types of disasters that repeatedly affect the lives and livelihoods of Yemenis. • Yemen is one of the least developed countries in the world with 35% of the population living below the poverty line. • A high population growth of 3.1% is placing new demands on education, the water supply, social services and employment. Since 1975, Yemen’s population has almost tripled and it is expected to double by 2025. • Subsequently, the impact of the disasters on environment and population is compounded by the fact that the social, economic and political capacities of the country are not conducive for effective disaster prevention, preparedness and response.
Key Planning Assumptions and Strategy
• The humanitarian contingency plan assumes a caseload of 300,000 to 1.5 million people to be affected by natural and human caused emergencies within 6-12 months. • The intervention strategies focus on life saving activities within a cluster leadership approach agreed by UNEPRT.
Events That May Occur
• It is estimated that 200-300 Somali refugees flee to Yemen across the Gulf of Aden daily. This number may increase subject to the prevailing circumstances Somalia. • If Ethiopia withdraws its forces from Somalia, the influx of refugees to Yemen is expected to double. • Political tension between north and south Yemen is compounded by tribal conflict, a common phenomena in Yemen. • Such conflict would lead to disruption of health, education and agriculture services; increasing the demand for international humanitarian assistance. • Natural disasters such as floods, drought, disease outbreak, earthquakes etc continue to threaten the safety and wellbeing of Yemenis and particularly of the rural population. • The 2008 floods affected the livelihood of thousands of Yemenis and more floods could likely to hit the country during the rainy seasons. • Disease outbreaks such as Malaria, Dengue Fever are common on an almost annual basis.
Summary of Contingency Scenarios Planning Assumptions Geographic Focus I: Human Caused Disasters Social • Tribal conflicts often lead to breakdown of law and order, displacement of people, and Conflict disruption of basic socio-economic services i.e. education, health, commerce, and agriculture. • During tribal conflicts sexual abuse, domestic violence, and psychosocial trauma affects children, women and the elderly. • Civil conflict as result of political, social and economic tensions is a regular occurrence with varying magnitude and intensity between governorates leading to death, injury, create anarchistic tendencies, and disrupt the socio economic activities of the country. • The breakdown of the cease fire in northern Sa'ada lead to a dramatic intensification of hostilities and drew the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia into the conflict. This has greatly exacerbated the situation for the IDPs within the region whose numbers rose to 175,000) and are continuing to rise (December 2009. Initial findings from an EPR mission in response to these events are summarized separately below.
Tribal and civil conflict affects 130,000-1,050,000 Am ran, Sa’ada, Shabwa, Marib, Al-Jawf and people annually. major cities. Refugee E) Further deterioration of law and order in Somalia is expected to drive civilians to internal Influx displacement and external migration. F) UNHCR reports estimate that 3,000 Somali refugees reach the Gulf of Aden by boat monthly. G) They pose serious social, economic and security challenges to the GoY and the international

Summary of Case Load. • The scenarios assume a caseload of 300,000 people in 6 months and about 1.5 million for one year. The breakdown of the possible case load is as follows:
Caseload Scenarios 6 months 12 Months I. Human caused Disasters 1.1. Tribal conflict 30,000 50,000 1.2. Civil Unrest 100,000 1,000,000 1.3. Refugee Influx most likely 24,000 48,000 II. Natural caused 2.1. Flash floods 10,000 100,000 Disasters 2.2. Disease Outbreak 50,000 200,000
106/115 LCA -
Summary of constraints and challenges: • Inadequate Government contributions and weak coordination capacity at central and regional levels. • Security challenges and shortage of manpower and resources. • UN and NGOs assistance face security challenges and shortage of manpower & resources, • Simultaneous multiple epidemics caused by unsafe drinking water & inadequate sanitation could stretch UN capacity. • Increased influx of refugee from Somalia. • Security and safety : Between 2003 and 2008 Yemen has faced terrorist incidents (kidnappings, bombs and letter threats). These incidents have a direct impact on the delivery of UN humanitarian services in the country.
Summary of early warning indicators of the scenarios: • Deteriorating political and security situation in Somalia and neighboring countries, • In consistent rainfall pattern of seasonal rains and drought leading to failure of crops, fruits and vegetables production,, • Conflict between traditional tribal groups and government security movements, • Sudden rise in local commodity prices( in particular of food products), • Rise in the mortality and morbidity rates of children, women and the general population, • Rate and degree of acute malnutrition, • Number of children dropped out from education services , • Rate of people who have no access to potable water and sanitation facilities, • Some services would be in conflict with people’s interest (i.e. spraying against locusts makes bee keepers and shepherds unhappy).
