User feedback, collected via listening sessions, email, conversations, and any other means feasible, are an integral part of fine tuning our drought monitoring tools to be accurate and as useful as possible. These tools are being developed with sponsorship from the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Risk Management Agency, in partnership with the Computer Science & Engineering Department of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.

Upcoming:
