Mongolia is to prepare for winter. 'Early Warning and Early Action' themed workshop is being conducted by the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) with the support of the Cabinet and the United Nations Office. The conference aims to identify possible difficulties that may arise this winter, reduce possible damages with early warning, define measures to be taken in order to ensure full preparedness for upcoming winter and draft a damage reduction strategy based on experiences of previous years. “This year, winter might be harsher than last year's winter,” said the Prime Minister and underlined the importance of framing a comprehensive policy comprising dzud risk assessment, disaster prevention and risk reduction measures. Furthermore, the Government has allocated MNT 16.7 billion in the state budget to ensure full preparedness for possible wintering difficulties. In the winter of 2017-2018, 160 thousand herding households will winter with their 66 million domestic animals across the country. Animal husbandry sector produces about 80 percent of agricultural products.
