About this document
U.S. Drought Monitor Explainer by The Livingston County News is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The U.S. Drought Monitor is a weekly map that categorizes drought conditions across the U.S. into five classifications, from abnormally dry to exceptional drought. It is produced collaboratively by the National Drought Mitigation Center, NOAA, and USDA, and is used by various agencies for disaster declarations and drought response. The map is based on multiple data sources and expert assessments, providing a retrospective look at drought conditions rather than a forecast.
