Recent NDMC professional presentations nation-wide have been to water law and policy experts, to hydrologists, to meteorologists, to agricultural policymakers, and at state and regional meetings of water and resource managers and stakeholders.

Community presentations -- generally within driving distance of Lincoln, Nebraska -- have been to public health groups, to history-oriented groups, and to service organizations. We can also provide a drought booth at agriculture or water-related trade shows.

The NDMC has been conducting workshops and listening sessions since 1997. We work with stakeholders to ensure that our science-based tools will work for the needs and with the capabilities of a variety of users. NDMC outreach staff have worked to create workshop formats to facilitate drought planning by government agencies, to create drought management tools for agricultural producers, and to create tools to anticipate drought months or years ahead of time. We like to see good science being used.
