DROUGHT REPORTING & INFORMATION

TRAINING OVERVIEW INTRODUCTION TO DRI NECESSITY OF DROUGHT DROUGHT REPORTING & INFORMATION INTRODUCTION TO DRI NECESSITY OF DROUGHT CONDITION REPORTING WHAT TO REPORT TO DRI DRI CONDITION CATEGORIZATIONS US Drought Monitor Product

DROUGHT REPORTING & INFORMATION A collaborative effort between the agriculture and weather/climate communities. An easy-to-use, interactive method of reporting drought conditions to NOAA (National Weather Service) and editors of the US Drought Monitor Product. Enhances drought forecasting, monitoring, and response. hello@reverta.com

US DROUGHT MONITOR DROUGHT REPORTING & INFORMATION National product displaying areas of drought & severity. Issued every Thursday morning at 7AM CT. http://droughtmonitor.unl.edu

US DROUGHT MONITOR PRODUCTION DROUGHT REPORTING & INFORMATION US DROUGHT MONITOR PRODUCTION Produced jointly by NOAA, USDA, and the National Drought Mitigation Center (NDMC). Based on measurements of climatic, hydrologic, and soil conditions in addition to input from over 350 contributors. Contributors from academia, agriculture, government agencies, etc. hello@reverta.com

DROUGHT REPORTING & INFORMATION US DROUGHT MONITOR USE Used by policymakers and media in discussing drought and in drought relief planning. Used in disaster declarations for areas experiencing ‘severe’ drought for an extended period of time. Has been used to distribute billions of dollars in federal money to farm and livestock relief. hello@reverta.com

US DROUGHT MONITOR CREDIBILITY DROUGHT REPORTING & INFORMATION “It isn’t a strictly quantitative product… the community of drought observers lends credibility to the state-of-the-art blend of science and subjectivity that goes into the map.” http://droughtmonitor.unl.edu/ “About USDM” US DROUGHT MONITOR CREDIBILITY In other words, your reports are needed to uphold the credibility of this product. hello@reverta.com

CONDITION CATEGORIZATIONS DROUGHT REPORTING & INFORMATION Select one of five: NONE SLIGHT MODERATE SEVERE DEVASTATING

NONE CONDITIONS No drought conditions exist. DROUGHT REPORTING & INFORMATION NONE CONDITIONS No drought conditions exist. Moisture is abundant and crops are healthy. No irrigation is required.

SLIGHT CONDITIONS Some dry conditions exist, but impacts are minor. DROUGHT REPORTING & INFORMATION SLIGHT CONDITIONS Some dry conditions exist, but impacts are minor. Crops are healthy with minimal irrigation required.

MODERATE CONDITIONS Dry conditions widely exist. DROUGHT REPORTING & INFORMATION MODERATE CONDITIONS Dry conditions widely exist. Irrigation is required, with crops not irrigated now wilting or turning. Soil is dry with browning of grass surfaces such as yards and pastures.

SEVERE CONDITIONS Conditions are extremely dry. DROUGHT REPORTING & INFORMATION SEVERE CONDITIONS Conditions are extremely dry. Some water shortages are possible. Many crops have experienced damage or been lost, with impacts to crop yields certain.

DEVASTATING CONDITIONS Conditions are devastatingly dry. DROUGHT REPORTING & INFORMATION DEVASTATING CONDITIONS Conditions are devastatingly dry. Major crop losses have or will occur, in addition to major water shortages. Losses to livestock are also possible.
