On 7 March the Armenian Government approved the national strategy for decreasing catastrophe risks. In accordance with this program, Mestamor NPP is located in the zone of seismic risks. In case of any catastrophes, the whole responsibility for ANPP, population protection and the control is vested on Energy and Natural Resources Ministry of Armenia. The strategy lays down the consequences of the largest catastrophe in recent years – Spitak quake in 1988, where about 25,000 people died and 517,000 were left without any shelter. The economy of the country incurred a damage of 4.2 billion USD.
