How Local Voices are Heard NATIONAL DROUGHT MITIGATION CENTER

Hydrological Drought Impact Chain Low river flows and water levels in lakes, rivers, reservoirs and aquifers are typical indicators for hydrological droughts, which are associated with periods of precipitation shortfalls on surface and subsurface water supply. Hydrological droughts occur when the amount of precipitation is insufficient to maintain the usually expected flows, levels or volumes in rivers, lakes and reservoirs. They are out of phase or lag the occurrence of meteorological droughts. Although it takes more time to show deficiencies in the components of the hydrologic system (soil moisture, stream flow, ground water, reservoir levels), these deficiencies of precipitation impact the hydrologic system dramatically. This deficit in groundwater storages in relation to normally expected storage levels affects utilizations that depend on theses water levels http://www.pik-potsdam.de/cigrasp-2/ic/hd/hydrological_drought.html

Engagement Strategies

Mission of Stakeholder Engagement *Create an environment so that people are empowered to connect with each other. One that is lasting, collaborative, and has communication*

Featured Question: “When does Dry become Drought?” Participatory Research: A collaborative approach to research that bridges the gap between scientific knowledge and experiential knowledge. Picture 1: NASA GHA Stakeholders engaged in discussing drought impacts on their water supply systems and the best way to mitigate them with various early warning information sources. (2015) Pictures 2 & 3: California and Nevada Stakeholders engaged in conversation mapping. (NIDIS DEWS CA- NV Workshop, June 2017) Featured Question: “When does Dry become Drought?” NATIONAL DROUGHT MITIGATION CENTER

Climate Information Flows 2013-2017 3. End Users National Ministries Local and regional agencies NGOs Farmers/Extension Water managers Community leaders Disaster risk managers Response coordinators & Others 2. Process/package/apply/transfer Climate Information Early Warning/Disaster Risk Management (e.g. FEWSNET, FAO) Agriculture Sector (e.g. Ethiopian Institute of Agricultural Research (EIAR) (also production some information), International Development Enterprise (IDE)) Water Sector (e.g. International Water Management Institute (IWMI), Ministry of Water, Irrigation, and Energy (MoWR)) Research/Academic – developing innovative methods of transfer 1. Generate Climate Information National: Meteorological agencies and departments Regional: IGAD Climate Prediction and Application Centre (ICPAC), FEWSNET, African Flood and Drought Monitor, Regional Center for Mapping Resources for Development

2015 Breakout Sessions: Ag, Water, and Disaster Sector Overviews Agriculture: Crop & Livestock 10 day forecasts w/an ag met advisories Need for prediction before & during cropping seasons @ monthly intervals (include soil moisture & water stress for both crops & livestock) Wind stress info Livestock: Mobility, Stocking, and Disease Control considerations (1 Mo) Water & Hydro Climate Forecast information is needed to determine how much water is needed for communities Most decisions for water supply are made during the calendar year but info before the rainfall season is crucial (at least one week before for decision-making) Need forecast interpretation for various sectors Challenges include: forecast understanding, lack of historical data Disaster Monitoring & Relief National level decision making is made year round, local decision making depends on different regimes within the country. Challenges include: monthly based forecasts are not suitable for floods and knowing where vulnerable populations live is a must for both hazards. Needs are for the seasonal forecasts and long term climate projection planning is a must for risk and mitigation efforts. The CCF, traditionally used in community development efforts (Emory and Flora, 2006; Flora and Flora, 2008), identifies seven types of community assets, or capitals, which include: natural (e.g., water), cultural (e.g., values), human (e.g., skills), social (e.g., social networks), political (e.g., ability to influence decisions), financial, and built (e.g., infrastructure). Communities that use and build assets across all types of capital are generally more economically sustainable. Due to the highly diverse nature of drought impacts, it follows that the CCF would naturally lend itself to drought planning and mitigation efforts. Past Methods of Engagement: Surveys, Small group discussions, w/ Conversation Mapping and Sticky Notes Considerations of on-farm operational decisions, Tik-Tik flies are a concern with livestock and availing crop residue for supplemental feed. Past participants also indicated that water supply decisions are only made on population figures & the climate info is missing. For the Water Sector, research & outreach needs still exist for long-term climate projections. The disaster management sector was very much supportive of long term risk and mitigation planning for both hazards in the GHA. (Tadesse, et. al. in Bulletin of American Meteorology, http://journals.ametsoc.org/doi/pdf/10.1175/BAMS-D-15-00269.1)

Facilitated Discussion 1 BREAKOUT SESSION 1: Preparing under the 3 Pillars 1:50-3:15 PM (Facilitators: Dr. Mike Hayes, Dr. Mark Svoboda, Dr. Deborah Bathke, and Nicole Wall) Main Question: How do we monitor, predict, plan, and prepare to stop drought becoming famine over the Great Horn of Africa? (50 min) Does the “3 Pillars Graphic” make sense? Second, for the mitigation and response pillar (or planning pillar), what type of planning exists and at what scales? Third, for the vulnerability assessment pillar, have there been efforts to identify specific impacts, the underlying causes for those impacts, and how the early warning and planning information can be tied to those impacts and causes?

Facilitated Discussion 1

Facilitated Discussion 1 PARTICIPANTS WILL BE DIVIDED INTO 3 GROUPS (AG-Yellow Dot, WATER-Blue Dot, and DISASTER MGMT-Red Dot) Facilitators will introduce the session and ask for assistance in moderating and notetaking. Please consider volunteering. Please use sticky paper or white sheets to capture main points from the group. Report out per each group will highlight no more than 5 “Key Points or Themes “ for each question addressed.

Facilitated Discussion 2 BREAKOUT SESSION 2: The Way Forward 1:30-3:30 PM (Facilitators: Dr. Mike Hayes, Dr. Mark Svoboda, Dr. Deborah Bathke, and Nicole Wall) Main Questions: Building from Day 1 Discussions: Would there be interest in working on linking the pillars in the future? How can we best identify user needs and priorities moving forward (think holistically)? (60-70 mins) Guiding Questions: What is the best way to provide that information to your sector (best format or package)? As an example, drought scenarios and exercises could be considered. In terms of a “way forward”: How can we collect evidence of the usefulness of seasonal forecasts promptly in terms of technology adoption and the economics of information?
