4 Challenges & Solutions  Damage to local logistics infrastructure (port facilities, warehousing), road access & a diminished security environment.  Rapid deployment of logistics assets, and teams working closely with Military actors to provide quick and practical solutions in the first 24 hours.  Large # of new actors with limited local knowledge and insufficient capacity & many actors with very good local knowledge but faced with overwhelming new challenges.  Dedicated help desk to assist newcomers with up to date information, points of contact and services.  Limited communications and connectivity challenged teams ability to exchange information outside of PAP.  Global Support Cell - provided extraordinary support to ensure information reached the outside world (briefs, project documents) and prepared project documents.  Ability of humanitarian actors to reach PAP quickly was impeded by congested entry points particularly the Airport.  Provision of the Humanitarian Air Services (UNHAS) in conjuncture with Military and Private Sector Air assets facilitated rapid movement of staff and cargo in the first days and dedicated staff to address flight slot issues.
