National Drought Information Center
The Web site of the National Drought Information Center (NDMC) now includes current and back issues of the center's informative newsletter, Drought Network News, as well as a lot of other information about drought and the center's work on drought mitigation. For anyone concerned about this hazard, the NDMC site deserves serious scrutiny; see, for example, The Enigma of Drought: Science and Impacts at the second URL above.
From the same location,the Western Drought Coordination Council provides information about its ongoing work as well as a quarterly report, Western Climate and Water Status,which synthesizes 75 different data sources regarding the western US water/drought outlook. Interested persons can receive the executive summary of this report quarterly via e-mail by contacting Kelly Smith, E-mail: khsmith@enso.unl.edu
