Research Abstract

The present study is aimed to make an impact assessment of dust storm in Mongolia on herders, regarding the risk as the product of scale of extreme weather and vulnerability of herders' society. The scale of dust storm was defined by a meteorological analysis, while the society's vulnerability was assessed by socioeconomic, human, and livestock health surveys. These investigations resulted in an overall impact assessment. Focus was placed on the regionality that the impacts varied depending on the vulnerability, even when a similar scale of storm affected a wider area.
