Conclusion There are series studies and statistics related with

natural and human made disasters conducted by NEMA and line ministries and agencies, international organizations, NGO and INGO as well as academic institutions.

But, there is lack of an integrated database and disaster related statistics in Mongolia.

Thank you for attention
