Staging Area Example: IFRC Haiti 1 3 Inbound Consolidation 2 Outbound IFRC considered three different options for a staging area for the 2010 Haiti earthquake operation: Miami, Panama and Santo Domingo.

Staging Area Example: Logistics Cluster Yemen Advantages Santo Domingo Miami Panama • • Cheapest option Short lead time to Haiti Potential to build national society Coordination with other actors • Advanced infrastructure of major shipping port • Regular services to Haiti and Santo Domingo • Coordination with other actors • Advanced Infrastructure of major shipping port • Regular services to Haiti and Santo Domingo • Support structure and operating knowledge already in place Disadvantages • Likely congestion • Potentially hazardous: earthquakes, security • Customs clearance limitations • Cost and time of setting up new office • Estimated most expensive option • Longest distance to Haiti • Not least cost option

Staging Area Example: Logistics Cluster Yemen

Staging Area Example: Logistics Cluster Yemen Setting-up a strategic staging area in Djibouti for rapid dispatch of food and relief items. • Establishing a fuel supply for humanitarian partners inside Yemen • Transporting humanitarian aid, fuel and supplies by sea • Creating an air bridge to channel critical cargo from Djibouti to Yemen. • Providing storage and transport services to humanitarian partners on the ground. • Providing air services for aid workers
