Drought Tracker

Proporciona indicadores, perspectivas, pronósticos y designaciones de sequía de uso común

Drought Tracker, developed for the National Integrated Drought Information System, provides commonly-used indicators, outlooks, and impact maps, including the U.S. Drought Monitor, rainfall forecasts, monthly and seasonal forecasts, and USDA drought designations.

Drought Tracker also uses citizen reports such as yours to monitor places where drought is developing or having impacts. Condition Reporting allows you to tell us whether vegetation is stressed, water is low, or wildfires are prevalent. You can report simply selecting a category:

- Crop Health

- Pasture Health

- Lawn & Garden

- Water Resources

- Wildfires

- Soil Moisture

Just select a category and find the conditions that match your area. You can also add a note describing impacts and even upload a photo.

Drought condition reports are sent to the National Drought Mitigation Center for archive in the Drought Impacts Reporter and may be used by the U.S. Drought Monitor authors to identify areas of concern for further investigation. They also provide a record of impacts that can help researchers ground-truth drought indicators and develop new monitoring products.
