I received this notice about four virtual listening sessions on the new proposed Drought Dashboard for the Apalachicola-Chattahoochee-Flint River Drought Early Warning System and want to pass it along to you. They were originally intended to be held in person, but because of the pandemic have been moved to online discussions. I encourage you to sign up for one of these sessions and add your perspective to how drought should be identified and monitored in the Southeast. You do have to register in advance to attend.
