Subject: Supply Chain
talk to Michael about priorities. I would think that the first load of Aquatabs is a high priority. The bottle caps from FLL may be next. Then the second load of Aquatabs.
If this thing keeps growing we need a routine way to get more bottles, spigots, etc into Leogane. DSI can definitely pay for fuel and expenses. If we get major funding from a large org we could probably pay for flight time, etc so that the pilots don't have to keep pulling out of their pockets.
Let's start to think about establishing a supply chain that can support a larger effort. So far you probably have transported the volume for ~5,000 systems. The target of our proposals is about 20,000 systems. It may well grow to 40,000 or more.

My understanding is that the total weight is 1,600 kg and that is distributed among 11 pallets. I would estimate a pallet to be 4'x4'x3' high. They are very light so I would guess that you would max out on volume.
Michael/Suzanne - pls confirm if you get this.

We need weight and volume. Only cesna caravans make sense to land in leogane, which means adam and eric. Need to know how many loads so can arrange them to go get from santiago and deliver

any more info on this - should we consider having David Lee or another private pilot try to get to Puerto Plata?
Michael needs them quickly. Aquatabs are the best source of chlorine at this point.

Richard,
I am going to send you a couple of email correspondences that will give you contact points and location.
This email gives the coordinates for Leoganes, Haiti which is where the location of the NGO, Deep Springs International.
Michael Ritter is your contact, but as you can see in the attachments, there are other individuals representing the organization.
Telephone connections have been spotty at best so they have been communicating through emails.
I am copying a number individuals that I have been working with to let them know what we are up to.
For their benefit: we have been having difficulty getting transportation out of Puerto Plata. I still waiting on a few phone calls, but as a back up, Richard Taylor, who has been working with my community in the Dominican Republic, has agreed to help me look for other options in getting the product to Michael.
I am sending Richard all of my contact information, so that if things work his way, He will be able to contact Michael and his group.

Here is some more info on Leogane. Jeff has sent 4 planes on their the past two days. Shouldn't be a problem getting the goods on the ground and secured, that is if we can get them in the air.

Kind of just for fun and because I'm a Google Earth nerd - but feel free to pass along to press people to give a sense of what's going on here. They haven't yet marked out the field in the SW corner where the roads converge that is now being staked out by the Marines and being used as their helicopter pad now. In my pics you can see one with the plane that landed on the "airstrip" and a Marines helicopter in the air.
Not sure what's all in the emails below the latest, but please strip them if you pass them along in case there's any CDC/UND/CNP stuff that isn't meant to be passed along.

Subject: a flight with MDs an supplies on Monday to Leogane and one on Wedensday?
Chers ami(es) de Leogane
Je veux d’abord vous assurer que vous avez beaucoup d’amis et que le monde ne vous a pas oublié.
After a whole day emailing and calling, it seems that we reached our goal that we - a handful of public health professionals from different institutions - set on Thursday night: getting help to Leogane! So before going into the details, I want to thank everyone, but especially Wendy, Caroline and Tiffany for their help!
As you all know, we tried to get a plane directly to Leogane. Jean Marc and Wesley made sure we had the GPS coordinates and a plan of the airstrip. Thanks to some of you, Robin Eissler from Jet quest was contacted and she arranged a donated flight. She also arranged a helicopter in case the plane can’t land in Leogane. For the latter we have to pay, but we think we can easily find those funds. This flight is available tomorrow at 8 am in Fort Lauderdale, but though we really tried, we were – on a Saturday – not able to get supplies in time to Florida. But co-incidentally, there was a group MDs from Iowa who were looking to get down to Leogane and we found out that Ashley Aakesson from CNP was willing to coordinate efforts for Leogane. So we put Ashley in contact with Robin and we hope that on Monday, Leogane can get supplies!
We are still trying to get some medicine to Ralph Pennino from Intervol who will bring supplies on Wednesday to Leogane trough 2 donated flights to DR and helicopters from the US Southern Command.
A lot of you had offered money or wanted to help with fundraising. Our plan is to take tomorrow a break, but Monday we are going to organize the best way to organize this. We will send you regularly updates on activities and on how to donate. Although we focus now on the emergency phase, we plan to keep on working on the reconstruction of Leogane.
Thanks!

Subject: Aid for leogane:we need supplies in Fort lauderdale tomorrow at 8 am
Importance: High
Dear
Things are moving! It seems we secured 2 flights, now we have to move to get supplies
Robin Eissler ( who got on board thanks to Nicole and Mike Carlin and Jim Sylivant). They are looking into sending a small plane to Leogane. We will have to send all the supplies to Fort Lauderdale by tomorrow 8 am!. Please help if you have supplies, contacts with UPS, etc.
Ralph Pennino, a MD and ND alumni from Rochester who is active in Intervol.org secured a Falcon 900 jet to fly to Santa Domingo donated by a friend. The US military would then fly the supplies to Leogane via Black Hawk helicopter. This is not finalized but extremely probable.
He has medical supplies but no drugs, IV fluids
So it looks like we have to go to a new search: for supplies and money for the supplies. I know we got already some emails offering supplies.
Thanks

Subject: Aid for leogane: update
Dear
There was a lot of emailing back and forth.
This is what we have at the moment:
- We have regular contact with our Haitian friends and colleagues in Leogane
- We have the coordinates of an airstrip in Leogane who was used in the past. The place is clear
- we are preparing a short text to send out as soon we found a plane so that we can find funds.
- we are looking in ways to collect money (paypal?).
- We don’t have a plane yet, that will be the most difficult. We have contacts, but nothing concrete. We also try to get contact with people who are bringing relief with helicopters ( thanks Wendy!)
We contacted a lot of people: US military, CDC hierarchy, MSF, …to ask help for Leogane.
I will stop copying everyone, but please let me know if you want to be copied…
I add some assessments of the situation of Leogane and some pictures
Joey's report:
My name is Joey Leary I have lived in Leogane since August 11th. I am intimately acquainted with the Leogane community as I have many contacts and speak Kreyol. I was airlifted out of the country this morning after a brief visit to the US embassy in Port au Prince. I spent 6am to 6pm on Wednesday working with USPH nursing students to provide emergency medical care tohundreds of critically injured men women and babies. Gangrene, sepsis, and impending kidney failure will surely occur in half of these patients if further medical assistance is not provided. I am sending this information in an attempt to expediate the provision of aide to my friends and colleagues in Leogane.
1. Where?
-Leogane
2. Where in Leogane?
- BELVAL PLAZA (UNPH Nursing School, Notre Dame Haiti Program) - 400 displaced families - 100 critically injured, dying
-CAVALY SOCCER STADIUM - unspecified
-HOSPITAL SAINT CROIX (has been closed for the past two years but still is standing after the earthquake) - has 100 empty rooms. If safe, could be turned into a military hospital.
3. Possible Access Points?
- I was able to drive unimpeded from Leogane to the airport on Thursday Jan. 14. We took the route that remains closest to the sea and takes one through the Oil Refinary. (old route has a sink hole and is inaccessable)
-Ca Ira is 1 mile West of Leogane on the beach. Aid that lands in Ca Ira could be transported on the road that dead ends into Belval Plaza.
4. Important to Note
- 100 residential nursing students (army of healthcare workers) living at Belval Plaza.
- NO MEDICAL SUPPLIES!
-Hospital St Croix, UNPH Nursing School, and Residence Filarose have functioning generators for electricity.
-With the generator Hospital St. Croix can pump clean water into the compound.
- Based on my walk from Champ de Mars to Leogane on Tuesday night, the destruction in Leogane was equal or worse than that in Carrefour.
