NIDIS VISION and GOALS “A dynamic and accessible drought information system that provides users with the ability to determine the potential impacts of drought and the associated risks they bring, and the decision support tools needed to better prepare for and mitigate the effects of drought.” Public Law (2006) “A dynamic and accessible drought information system that provides users with the ability to determine the potential impacts of drought and the associated risks they bring, and the decision support tools needed to better prepare for and mitigate the effects of drought.” Public Law (2006) (Drought Policy Commission Report (2000), Western Governors Report (04), NIDIS Implementation Plan (07))

NIDIS VISION and GOALS Implementation: Coordinate national drought monitoring and forecasting systemCoordinate national drought monitoring and forecasting system Creating a drought early warning information system (including assessment of potential impacts and triggering criteria)Creating a drought early warning information system (including assessment of potential impacts and triggering criteria) Providing an interactive drought information delivery system for products and services—including an internet portal and standardized products (databases, forecasts, Geographic Information Systems (GIS), maps, etc)Providing an interactive drought information delivery system for products and services—including an internet portal and standardized products (databases, forecasts, Geographic Information Systems (GIS), maps, etc) Designing mechanisms for improving information to support preparedness and planningDesigning mechanisms for improving information to support preparedness and planning

How can we most effectively develop and coordinate information for early warning (onset, duration, demise, impacts) into drought plans?How can we most effectively develop and coordinate information for early warning (onset, duration, demise, impacts) into drought plans?
