Ulaanbaatar /MONTSAME/. The cabinet passes the regulation on criteria for disaster assessment and disaster levels at today’s regular meeting.


Disaster levels are to be color coded as yellow for municipal, orange for regional and red for nationwide disasters. The number of victims and deaths and the disaster area as well as the effort that is being made for disaster relief will be considered when disaster level is defined.

For instance, if there are 10-100 victims and 10 deaths in up to 2 aimags or districts, the disaster is classified as municipal level, with the color code as yellow. If over 100 people become victims and there are over 10 deaths in 3 or more aimags or districts, it will be classified as regional level with the color code as orange, while if there are over 100 victims and over 10 deaths in 2 or more regions and the capital city, the disaster is to be classified as nationwide with the color code red.
