Contributing Your Data and Information

Your observations can help contribute to the making of the map in two ways. By contributing local precipitation data or by reporting drought impacts. Here’s how: Talk to your state drought contact, join CoCoRaHS ‐ the Community Collaborative Rain, Hail, and Snow Network. Or submit reports directly to the National Drought Mitigation Center’s Drought Impact Reporter. More information on each can be found by clicking on the web links below.
