- Provide a forum for sharing information and experiences with managing drought in a changing climate
- Determine best ways to communicate and collaborate on projects and funding opportunities
- Discuss high-priority data and information needs and gaps so that NIDIS can continue to build tribal drought resilience in these regions.
