Drought Mitigation in a Multi-Hazards Context

The American Planning Association and the NDMC are developing an online user guide to resources used by government entities, planning consultants and non-profit organizations to plan for drought alongside preparation for other natural hazards, particularly flooding. Other web-based resources related to the guidebook will also be created to assist organizations creating drought plans for their community or region.
