| Description | The Operational Drought Plan, contained herein, is the key component for responding to the current and future drought conditions in Arizona. The Operational Drought Plan recognizes that drought events are natural disasters that touch all sectors of community, region, and state. To facilitate a coordinated response to drought events, the Operational Drought Plan identifies a process for communication and coordination between Arizona state agencies, Federal agencies, tribal governments, state lawmakers, water users, resource managers, and scientists.The long-term planning aspect of the Governor’s Drought Task Force activities have been overshadowed as a result of the current drought conditions that Arizonans are facing today. Water users across the state are now experiencing the impacts of drought that are identified in this document. Principally this document emphasizes a drought monitoring system to provide early warning of future drought conditions and proactive mitigation strategies to help reduce the impacts of drought. The Governor’s Drought Task Force has developed guidelines for communities and water providers, individual homeowners, and State government for responding to each stage of drought consistent with the mitigation measures in this plan. |
