Drought in Action

Drought communication is important not only for informing people about current drought conditions, but also for providing education and encouraging people to take adaptation action.

A number of federal and state agencies provide direct relief and recovery support for drought impacts. While NIDIS does not provide monetary relief resources, it does provide information and services to mitigate drought. The links on this page provide additional information about programs and resources available for drought mitigation, relief, and recovery.

NIDIS and its partners offer a variety of funding opportunities related to drought early warning research across many sectors and fields, including science, education, and technology.
