Alabama Drought Reach (ADR) is a statewide drought communications and outreach program focused on improving our understanding of how drought impacts Alabama.

The program is a collaborative partnership between the Auburn University Water Resources Center, the Alabama Office of the State Climatologist, and the Alabama Cooperative Extension System with additional support from the Alabama Agricultural Experiment Stations.

The ADR motto is to stay aware and be prepared. Drought can occur at any time and have major impacts on all areas of life within Alabama.

Watch to learn how citizens can engage with drought impact reporting in their communities.

Anyone can submit regular drought reports via CMOR (Condition Monitoring Observer Reports). This is a public survey, created by the National Drought Mitigation Center, that allows anyone within the U.S. to report drought conditions. As Brianne often says: “Report now and report often!”
