VOA常速英语:Helping Mongolia With Emergency Preparedness(翻译)

The U.S. is providing nearly $800,000 in aid to help Mongolians mitigate the effects of the 2015-2016 winter emergency and develop systems to increase disaster preparedness.This new funding is in addition to $150,000 in humanitarian assistance provided to support logistics operations and the distribution of critical relief supplies to those affected by the winter emergency and expands ongoing disaster preparedness training with province and county-level officials.
美国正在为蒙古国民提供近80万美元的援助，以帮助减轻2015-2016冬季紧急情况的影响、开发系统以增强灾害防备。在这笔新资金之前美国曾为蒙古提供过15万美元的人道主义援助，以支持物流运作、分发关键的救援物资给那些受冬季紧急情况影响的人，还扩大了省级、县级政府官员们正在进行的灾害防备训练。

Through the U.S. Agency for International Development’s Office of Foreign Disaster Assistance (USAID/OFDA), the U.S. Government partners with Mercy Corps to work with communities to recover from the impact of the winter emergency and support the long-term sustainability of herding systems across 15 winter emergency-affected provinces.
据美国国际开发署对外灾害援助办公室（USAID/OFDA）透露，美国政府和国际美慈公司合作，与蒙古当地团体一起合作，从而从这次冬季经济情况的影响中恢复过来，支持15个受冬季紧急情况影响省份的畜牧系统实现长期可持续性。

The program will improve province and county-level ability to manage risks and lessen the impact of future winter emergencies through disaster risk reduction (DRR) training and the scale-up of a national SMS, or short message-based information-sharing system.
该项目将改善省、县级风险管理能力，并且减少未来冬季突发事件的影响，具体做法是通过减少灾害风险（DRR）训练和扩大国家手机短信服务（或基于信息共享系统的短消息）的规模。

This system, easily accessible by mobile phone, allows herders to access weather forecast data by equipping them with the tools to make informed decisions and develop disaster preparation strategies.
这一系统可以很方便地用手机接通，从而使得牧民们能够获取天气预报数据，装备这些工具可以使得牧民们做出明智的决定、制定灾害准备策略。

Since 2011, the U.S. has provided approximately $2.5 million for DRR programs in Mongolia through USAID/OFDA — including school-based disaster planning to prepare school administrators and students for disasters, as well as incident command system training to help local officials improve disaster response operations.
自从2011年以来，美国已经通过USAID/OFDA给蒙古的DRR项目提供了大约250万美元的资金—包括训练学校管理人员和学生应对灾害的校园防灾规划，以及训练帮助当地政府提高灾害应急响应行动的事故指挥系统。

Winter conditions in Mongolia can be exceptionally harsh and dangerous.The United States is proud to work with its partner Mongolia to help the Mongolian people meet the challenge of any winter emergency.
蒙古的冬季条件有时会非常的严酷和危险。美国感到很自豪，能够和其合作伙伴蒙古一起努力，帮助蒙古人民迎接任何冬季突发事件的挑战。
