Number of people to be assisted: TBC N° of National Societies currently involved in the operation (if available and relevant): N/A N° of other partner organizations involved in the operation (if available and relevant): N/A This bulletin is being issued for information and reflects the current situation and details available at this time. The Mongolian Red Cross Society (MRCS), with the support of the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC), will seek funding through DREF activation to provide support to the affected population. <click here for detailed contact information> The situation Pastoral herding is still common in Mongolia and many people herd livestock for their living. It could be challenging to herd livestock in Mongolia where harsh climate dominates. Mongolian herdsman experience dzud1 which is unique to pastoral communities in Central and East Asia and can be caused by a combination of summer drought, heavy snowfall, and high winds in concurrence with extremely low winter temperatures which combine to cause unsustainable conditions for animal survival. As stated by National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) and National Agency for Meteorology and Environmental Monitoring (NAMEM) on 12 January 2020, over 70 per cent of the country is covered by 10-30 cm snow layer and 41 soums2 out of nine provinces in white dzud3 condition while 51 soums out of 16 provinces (Table 1) are near white dzud4.

Hazards and Human-Environment Systems in the Gobi Desert, Asia Troy Sternberg* School of Geography, South Parks Road, Oxford, OX1 3QY, UK

Drought and extreme cold events frame ecological productivity and livelihood viability in the region. To investigate hazard impact this study uses the Standard Precipitation Index (SPI) to identify drought in southern Mongolia from 1970-2006. It then examines the relationship of drought with climate factors and its interaction with local human and livestock populations. Stressing the extreme winter disasters of 1999-2001 the study then evaluates the resilience of human-environment systems in the Gobi .Results indicate that drought is recurrent in the region, reaching extreme intensity most recently in 2005-2006. In contrast to the prevailing concept of drought impacting severe winters, the study did not find a connection between the two natural hazards. The principal long-term correlation of drought is with human population rather than natural factors, extreme conditions, or livestock numbers. Findings reflect human and landscape resilience when encountering drought and extreme winter conditions. Keywords: Drought; Dzud; Hazard; Mongolia; Standard in isolation from herder action and impact [15,16]. This is essential precipitation index when considering how subtle fluctuations in natural conditions or human action can impact livelihood and grassland productivity.
