The Northeast Regional Climate Center hosts a monthly webinar with NOAA affiliates to address timely weather and climate concerns. 

This webinar is part of a series of bi-monthly drought webinars designed to provide stakeholders and other interested parties in the Midwest with timely and relevant drought information and resources.

In this NOAA virtual drought seminar, Tim Brown, Desert Research Institute and Western Regional Climate Center, will present on drought and its relation to fire given our current understanding from research and practitioner knowledge.

These webinars provide the region's stakeholders and interested parties with timely information on current and developing drought conditions, as well as climatic events like El Niño and La Niña. Speakers will also discuss the impacts of these conditions on things such as wildfires, floods, disruption to water supply and ecosystems, as well as impacts to affected industries like agriculture, tourism, and public health.

NOAA's National Integrated Drought Information System (NIDIS) is partnering with the Southern Regional Climate Center and the Meadows Center for Water and the Environment and Texas Sate University to host a Southern Plains Drought Early Warning System (DEWS) Partners Meeting on August 25–26 in San Marcos, Texas. A DEWS partner is any group or organization working to improve resilience to drought in the region, including through the provision of weather data and forecasts. This gathering will provide an opportunity for partners in the Southern Plains DEWS to share and discuss ideas to improve drought early warning in the region and contribute to the regional strategic plan. 

NOAA's National Integrated Drought Information System (NIDIS) and the Natural Hazards Center at the University of Colorado Boulder will host A Workshop to Advance Drought Early Warning Communication for the Nation on September 10–11, 2026 in Boulder, Colorado.
