Benefits and Advantages Virtually all impacted agencies have input and are privy to the reasoning behind the final product. Ensures that conflicting information is not distributed (e.g. media). Reduces the number of contacts and minimizes conflicts that USDM authors must consider. Coordination promotes healthy partnerships by encouraging collaboration in mission activities other than drought E.g. scientific studies, request for speakers The North Carolina Drought Management Advisory Council
