This event will take place over one virtual session and then through the in person technical workshop. Attendants are requested to either attend the webinar or view the recording before the workshop. Drought assessment is being outpaced by climate change. Current methods for assessing drought conditions are not adequately considering drought in the context of climate change, thereby unintentionally promoting drought response strategies that are limited in building long-term resilience in a changing climate. The desired outcomes of this technical workshop will be to: Share information on the state of current research on drought monitoring and assessment in a changing climate, Identify immediate actions as well as long-term recommendations that can be taken now to improve drought assessment to incorporate climate change information, Identify outstanding research questions that would help advance the science of drought monitoring and assessment in a changing change and provide science-based knowledge in support of Federal drought programs and partners.
