This webinar, held on January 10, 2023, discussed the drought history, causes, and ecosystem impacts in the region, as well as select community perspectives and the likelihood of future drought events. For Tribes, communities, and decision makers in Southeast Alaska, this report  provides ready access to “what happened” and can inform planning, adaptation, and mitigation activities in the future.
