Drought Management Plan draft available for review
/The Lower Elkhorn Natural Resources District (LENRD) is taking proactive steps to reduce the impacts of future drought events. One of these steps is the development of the Drought Management Plan. The Drought Management Plan defines drought locally and identifies processes to respond to and manage the impacts of future drought events.
The Drought Management Plan was developed with the intention that it be adopted as an appendix of the 2015 LENRD Hazard Mitigation Plan. The public is encouraged to review the plan and provide comments, no later than January 25th, 2017.
The Drought Management Plan was funded by a FEMA planning grant. The cost is shared 75% through federal funding and 25% through a local match. The LENRD is providing the 25% local match. The LENRD hired JEO Consulting Group, Inc. (JEO) to assist with the plan development.
