NIAS LOGISTICS CAPACITY ASSESSMENT

LANGUAGE: ENGLISH

Nias was largely affected by the Indian Ocean Tsunami of December 26th 2004. Another earthquake on March 28th 2005 had a large affect on the island again causing widespread damage to both private property and public infrastructure and a significant number of deaths.

A series of detailed logistics assessments were carried out in Nias during early to mid 2005, but much of this information is now over 12 months old, and in need of updating. After both an initial request from BRR, and with the currency of the information in mind, the assessment team spent a week in Nias with the aim of developing an updated Logistics Capacity Assessment (LCA) of the island.

During 7 days of road and port assessments, meetings and liaising with UN agencies and Humanitarian Aid Organisations in Nias, the team has been able to bring together the information contained in this report. This information provides the basis for an accurate depiction of the challenges and problems associated with moving people, cargo and other materials by both land and sea in Nias.

During July 2006, Terry Burns together with Dylan Shaw and Arfandi Bachtiar of WFPSS produced the Nias Logistics Capacity Assessment report depicting the logistic problems associated with moving people, cargo and other materials by both land and sea in Nias. The assessment concentrated on the infrastructure components of ports, roads and bridges.

As a follow-up to that assessment, George Kuru was engaged through AIPRD to prepare a Logistics Plan for Nias Reconstruction Program to assist BRR to resolve the full gambit of logistics issues including procurement, depots, shipping and fuel, as well as infrastructure repairs and development.

Herein is Nias Logistics Capacity Assessment Follow-up report, produced by Terry Burns, that is intended as complementary information to (i) the original Nias Logistics Capacity Assessment report, and (ii) George Kuru’s Logistics Plan for Nias Reconstruction Program report
