On July 1, 1991 the Council of Ministers of the Kyrgyz SSR established the State Commission for Emergency Situations of the Kyrgyz Republic based on the resolution of the establishment of a state all-union system for preventing emergency situations and emergency response by the Council of Ministers of the USSR. On January 6, 1992 the State Commission for Emergency Situations of the Kyrgyz Republic was reorganized into the modern Ministry of Emergency Situations of Kyrgyzstan.[2][3] Between 1999 and 2005, during the process of Police reform in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the State Fire Service was transferred to the command of the Emergency Situations Ministry. On October 6, 2008 the ministry was called upon to take action after the 2008 Kyrgyzstan earthquake.
