The California-Nevada Drought Early Warning System (DEWS) Strategic Plan outlines priority tasks and activities that build upon existing stakeholder networks to improve drought early warning capacity and long-term resilience in California and Nevada. It includes a list of current partners, outcomes, and key milestones. This Plan is a “living document” to which additional actions and partners may be added as needed.
The Coastal Carolinas DEWS Strategic Plan outlines priority tasks and activities that build upon existing stakeholder networks to improve drought early warning capacity and long-term resilience in the coastal areas of North and South Carolina. This is a “living document” to which additional actions and partners may be added as needs and opportunities arise. The Plan includes a list of current partners, outcomes, and key milestones for present activities as well as indicating areas where NIDIS is seeking additional partners or working to finalize details of some activities.
