The Southwest is in continuing drought. This webinar will look at current and forecast drought conditions for Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, Nevada, and Utah.

For the first time, this meeting will bring together partners from both the Midwest and Missouri River Basin Drought Early Warning Systems (DEWS). This regional gathering will provide the opportunity for both DEWS networks to share and discuss on-going drought-related activities, learn about new and innovative drought research and resources, explore emerging issues and opportunities, and identify collaborative paths forward that advance drought early warning and preparedness in the region.

The Pacific Northwest Drought and Human Health Workshop will be held on October 19–20, 2022 at the Embassy Suites by Hilton Portland Downtown in Portland, Oregon. The workshop is tailored around regional drought-related human health impacts, and will help identify gaps and needs, collaborative opportunities, and ways to integrate the health sector into existing drought activities. The National Integrated Drought Information System (NIDIS) is co-leading the Drought and Human Health Workshop with the University of Nebraska Medical Center, along with a number of Pacific Northwest partner organizations.

The goal of the Oregon-Washington Water Year 2022 Recap & 2023 Outlook Meeting is to share and gather information regarding climate impacts of the 2022 water year. Continuing drought in some areas, flooding in the fall of 2021, and the exceptionally wet spring will be the focus. This meeting will also offer the opportunity to learn from others about impacts and response actions that were taken. Both days will include time for discussion and peer-to-peer learning, in addition to hearing from forecast experts on what to expect for 2023.
