Drought Risk Assessment

Drought Risk Assessment is the process of evaluating the likelihood and potential impact of droughts in a specific area. It involves analyzing factors such as weather patterns, soil moisture, and water supply to determine how susceptible a region is to drought. The goal is to identify vulnerable communities and ecosystems, so that strategies can be developed to mitigate risks, like improving water management or implementing conservation practices. By understanding these risks, governments and organizations can better prepare for and respond to droughts, ultimately protecting livelihoods and natural resources.
