Launch Site
The Drought Impact Reporter maps the effects of drought, based on reports from media, observers and other sources. It is searchable by state and county, by category of impact, and by time period. Clicking on a state produces a pop-up summary of reported impact types. Clicking on a county (and then scrolling down) yields detail about individual impacts, in many cases linked to the original reports. Users who click down to the county level will find a wealth of stories about drought's effects in specific places and times. The Drought Impact Reporter also allows people to enter first-hand reports about drought impacts.
