On February 17, the Chinese Embassy in Mongolia issued a safety reminder about the current cold and snowstorm weather, calling on Chinese citizens in Mongolia to strengthen safety precautions. Affected by the recent cold wave, most parts of Mongolia have experienced heavy snowfall, cooling and windy weather, and in some areas there have even been cases of missing people and freezing deaths. In order to ensure the safety of Chinese citizens, the embassy especially reminds everyone to strengthen precautionary measures.
In this reminder, the embassy details the current weather conditions and security risks. It is reported that the temperature in most parts of Mongolia has dropped below minus 30 degrees, and strong winds and heavy snowfall have brought great inconvenience to people's travel, and the snow thickness in some areas has reached one meter. Due to the unusually cold weather, there have been many cases of frostbite and freezing death in some areas, and many livestock have been trapped to death without making mistakes. In addition, traffic in some areas has also been severely affected due to heavy snow closures.
In response to this emergency, Mongolia** has taken a number of measures. The Mongolian Emergency Command has activated its emergency response plan, calling on people to "do not go out unless necessary" and avoid going out as much as possible. In addition, some inter-provincial roads have also been closed to ensure traffic safety.
The Chinese Embassy in Mongolia also emphasized the importance of precautionary measures in the reminder. They called on Chinese citizens in Mongolia to keep warm, reduce going out, and stay indoors as much as possible. At the same time, they also reminded everyone to pay attention to the weather forecast issued by the local meteorological department and prepare for precautions in advance. In case of emergency, you should contact your local embassy or consulate for help in a timely manner.
