National Drought Mitigation Center

The National Drought Mitigation Center (NDMC) is a research organization that helps communities understand, prepare for, and respond to drought conditions. Based at the University of Nebraska, it provides data, tools, and guidance to manage drought risks effectively. The center focuses on monitoring drought patterns, developing strategies to reduce impacts, and promoting resilience in agriculture, water supply, and ecosystems. Its work supports policymakers, water managers, and the public in making informed decisions to minimize the economic, environmental, and social effects of drought.
