1. Cargo Transport Database
UNJLC has established a new database to enable relevant management to access information more readily, including the tonnage of food moved compared to that of Non Food Items (NFI). Previously, the large amount of data held in a spreadsheet was proving too unwieldy to give a easily available overview of the situation. This new system will provide snapshots of how much cargo awaits tasking and essential key performance indicators. It will also facilitate troubleshooting and track the more complex cargo movements.
| Mode | Kg Last Week | Kg Total |
|---|---|---|
| Air | 1595709 | 8923567 |
| Ground | 102145 | 639910 |
| All | 1697854 | 956347 |
Please note that the ground figures do not constitute the total cargo movements of IOM and Atlas, since many of their requests for shipment are independent of UNJLC.
2. Warehousing
A chart of available warehouse space in the Pakistan hubs is now published on the UNJLC webpage. This includes warehouse location, ownership and storage capacity. Contact details are being updated. The table is designed to give all agencies and NGOs in need of storage a precise overview of existing warehouse capacity.
3. Mapping
UNJLC is in the process of updating and expanding its map catalogue in order to provide readily available and easy to use information to the relief community. The maps are available for download on the UNJLC website. A printed catalogue can be seen at the UNJLC Islamabad office. For printed copies and requests, please email unjlcmapping@gmail.com or visit UNJLC.

4. LSS
UNJLC Pakistan is working with Logistics Supply System and Supply Management (LSS) professionals from PAHO (Pan American Health Organization) / WHO (World Health Organization) to gain visibility over the NFI pipeline for the relief effort. The LSS system has been utilized by the United Nations WHO in managing its logistics chain in the South Asia earthquake response. This is the first time a UN agency has used the LSS in such a context. The LSS system was developed by PAHO and WHO as an interagency UN logistics supply management system for emergency and non-emergency situations. LSS has been adopted by various institutions and governments in South and Central America following the system's successful deployment in various regional disasters. Its efficacy is proven by the fact that several users in the Americas now use it as the standard system for warehouse and supply management in non-emergency situations. Jaime Quesada and Michael Graves, the LSS Team and trainers in Pakistan, commented that "the use of LSS in non-emergency situations for warehouse and supply management means that when an emergency or disaster occurs there is a ready supply of trained personnel available to initiate the pipeline system on a larger scale. This is the type of model we wish to encourage in the South Asian region, using the WHO emergency trial as a launching pad."
5. Emergency Coordination Centre
OCHA is consolidating its current position and setting up an essential coordination centre with the assistance of UNJLC. It will be tasked with consolidating information from the emergency's coordinating bodies (OCHA/HIC, UNJLC and the Cluster groups) and will act as a central briefing point and information centre on the Pakistan earthquake emergency. The goal is also to set up a structure to help plan for future operations. The centre is to be located in OCHA's new offices and will be fully operational by January 4th, 2006.
6. Aviation Update
The relief operation's air capacity has declined slightly over the last week with the repatriation of one of the German CH-53s due to maintenance requirements. However, UNHAS has brought in an additional MI-8 which is based in Abbottabad and has now begun rotations. Negotiations are continuing between the Pakistan and German governments on whether two of the remaining German helicopters tasked by UNHAS will stay in-country after NATO ends its operation on February 1st.
