Is California Ready for Drought?

Drought isn’t an equal opportunity crisis—some sectors and communities are more affected than others. Join the Public Policy Institute of California (PPIC) Water Policy Center and state and local experts for a panel discussion about how to reduce drought impacts to the most vulnerable sectors.

This research and event are supported with funding from the National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration’s National Integrated Drought Information System (NIDIS) program and the S. D. Bechtel, Jr. Foundation.
