Registrations are open for the California Drought Workshop in February 2009

The National Drought Mitigation Center, United States Department of Agriculture-Risk Management Agency, and the University of California, Agriculture and Natural Resources (Davis) are presenting a listening session and workshop to help California reduce vulnerability to drought. Presentations will focus on California’s drought experiences and on the drought management tools that the NDMC is developing with sponsorship from the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Risk Management Agency.

The workshops will be of interest to farmers and ranchers, people whose livelihoods depend on tourism and recreation, water suppliers, environmental organizations, natural resources managers, graduate students and state and local officials with responsibility for building resilience to drought through monitoring and planning. All are welcome, but sign up soon because space is limited.

Please register on-line by clicking on the link for the workshops immediately below and filling out the form. There is no cost. If for some reason your on-line registration does not go through, please contact Nicole Wall, Public Participation Specialist for NDMC, by emailing nwall2@unl.edu or by calling 402.472.6776.
