Highlights:
1. The Logistics Cluster was formally activated in Nepal on 27 April.
2. Logistics Cluster Cells have been established in Kathmandu, Deurali, Chautara and Dhading Besi. Meetings are held on a regular basis in all locations in order to maximise the use of available resources, avoid duplication of efforts and allow an uninterrupted flow of relief material.
3. Information is disseminated on a daily basis both through the mailing list of organisations on the ground and via the Logistics Cluster website
4. To date, 178 Information Management (IM) products have been published, and 17,071 unique users have visited the site, producing 20,812 page views. 783 users are currently subscribed to the dedicated Nepal mailing list.
5. The Logistics Cluster has a dedicated GIS officer able to take requests from the humanitarian community for logistics mapping. Relevant maps are available for download on the Logistics Cluster website, including a road access map, a map of helicopter landing zones to assist air operations, and district trekking trail maps to facilitate
porter operations and repairs.
6. From the start of the operation, the Logistics Cluster established regular coordination with the Ministry of Home Affairs (MoHA) to avoid logistics bottlenecks, and a representative has been made available in Kathmandu, to advise the humanitarian community on customs procedures.
7. As of 06 August, over 270 participants from around 130 organisations have attended coordination meetings in Kathmandu, Deurali, Chautara and Dhading Besi.
