Wyoming Launches New Drought Website
The website, drought.wyo.gov, details drought conditions, current emergency declarations and useful resources for affected areas. Our goal in developing this resource is to make relevant and timely information available in a single location, said Gordon. This effort capitalizes on the collaborative partnerships already in place between state and federal agencies and allows us to better communicate program resources, he added.
Gordon spokesman Michael Pearlman says the website is a cooperative effort between a state and federal drought conditions monitoring team comprised of State of Wyoming agencies, the University of Wyoming Extension, USDA, United States Geological Survey and the National Weather Service.

The site provides resources and information for specific sectors impacted by drought, including agriculture, tourism, recreation, municipalities and water utilities. It also offers information on federal and state resources and assistance available to those impacted by drought. Information on wildfire conditions and restrictions plus links to United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) drought disaster designations for Wyoming are also available on the website.
