Mongolia disaster management reference handbook 2022

This handbook provides a baseline of understanding of factors that influence disaster management within Mongolia. It is intended to help inform persons who are planning or executing a disaster response mission in the country and who will be working alongside Mongolia’s own responders and international humanitarians.

Since 2004, Mongolia’s National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) has provided administration, coordination, and direct assistance during emergencies and has built domestic and international partnerships that expand the country’s preparedness and mitigation capacities. Indeed, in recent years, international experts have praised Mongolia for its progress on disaster risk reduction, and the country is clearly invested in building a network of experts and implementing partners who will remain mainstays of disaster risk reduction and life-saving response.
