In 2020, the Northeast DEWS team held listening sessions among its partners and stakeholders in New York and New England. The focus of the sessions was to identify action items that will move the region from a reactive to a more proactive approach to managing drought risks and impacts. The Strategic Action Plan will be published in early 2021 and serve as a guide for research initiatives, decision support tool implementation, and education and outreach efforts.
