Mongolia has joined the Regional Integrated Multi-hazard Early Warning System for Africa and Asia (RIMES) to boost protection against natural disasters
The organisation is a regional body for the generation and application of early warning information.
Mongolia, a landlocked country in central east Asia and an active earthquake zone, frequently suffers mild earth tremors. In 1957, a strong earthquake hit the Gobi-Altay region in southern Mongolia, killing at least 1,200 people and also injuring many others.
