National Integrated Drought Information System (NIDIS)

The National Integrated Drought Information System (NIDIS) is a U.S. government initiative aimed at improving the nation's ability to monitor and respond to drought conditions. It provides timely and accurate information about droughts to help communities, farmers, and policymakers make informed decisions. NIDIS offers tools and resources for assessing drought impacts on water supply, agriculture, and ecosystems, promoting better preparedness and resilience. By fostering collaboration among various agencies and stakeholders, NIDIS enhances our understanding of drought and supports effective management strategies to mitigate its effects.
