Share your drought observations

------

The best way to provide information to Drought Monitor authors about conditions near you is to use the Condition Monitoring Observer Report (CMOR) system. Your report will appear immediately on an interactive map. The CMOR page includes fact sheets in English and Spanish and a how-to video to help you submit a report, which can include photos.

To get started uploading reports from a mobile device, 1) Download Esri’s Survey123 app from the app store on your device. At the login screen, choose “continue without logging in.” Allowing the app to use your location is generally convenient and accurate. 2) Close the app to download the survey for the first time. Download the survey either by using your device’s camera to scan this QR code or by entering go.unl.edu/CMOR into the address window of your device’s browser.

How CMOR reports are used
Please note that a CMOR report is not an application for drought assistance, and there is no guarantee that the Drought Monitor map will change because of your report. The Drought Monitor map is based on many different kinds of weather and climate data, including drought impacts. Although there is no guarantee that CMOR reports will change what the Drought Monitor says, CMOR reports do help the map authors understand how the weather is affecting you.

National Drought Mitigation Center

The National Drought Mitigation Center’s mission is to reduce the effects of drought on people, the environment and the economy by researching the science of drought monitoring and the practice of drought planning. We collaborate with and learn from decision-makers at all levels – individual ranchers, communities, regions, watersheds, tribes, states, countries – across the US and around the world. We organize and present workshops, writeshops and other capacity-building activities, in close cooperation with local partners.
