HPRCC staff members Crystal Stiles and Natalie Umphlett participated in a drought and climate workshop that was held October 21-22 in Forth Washakie, Wyoming, which is part of the Wind River Indian Reservation. The HPRCC is part of a collaborative effort between several partners to enhance climate monitoring and drought management for the reservation. The primary role of the HPRCC in this project is to provide support and expertise regarding climate monitoring on the reservation, as well as to produce a quarterly climate and drought summary focused on the reservation for producers, ranchers, and water managers to use as a decision-support tool. The HPRCC intends to continue supporting climate monitoring and drought management efforts on the reservation.
This project is a collaborative effort between the Wind River Indian Reservation, the HPRCC, the National Integrated Drought Information System (NIDIS), the North Central Climate Science Center, and the National Drought Mitigation Center (NDMC).
