Linking Public Health Impacts with Drought Severity Levels
In drought risk management, one of challenges facing officials is the difficulty to quantify drought impacts and link these impacts to drought severity levels identified by drought monitoring systems. In 2019, research was completed linking multi-sector drought impacts collected by the Drought Impact Reporter tool with drought severity levels identified by the U.S. Drought Monitor product. Unlike the United States, where public health impacts are often associated with mental health and stress, the public health impacts across the GHA include infectious diseases in addition to mental health and stress. In this initial investigation, the results reveal promise in using this technique to communicate with managers and decision-makers the link between drought severity levels and various public health impacts in the U.S. and the GHA regions.
