Iowa Drought Preparedness Plan - Stakeholder Input Meeting - Cedar Rapids

Homeland Security and Emergency Management (HSEMD)

HSEMD, in partnership with DNR and IDALS, are preparing a statewide drought preparedness plan for Iowa and are seeking input from partners.

Kirkwood Community College

The United States has had 13 major drought episodes between 1900 and 2014, and parts of the country are affected by severe drought conditions today. Iowa is susceptible to drought (with several parts of the state currently experiencing drought) and future forecasting indicates Iowa will continue to face precipitation deficiencies that may cause prolonged periods of drought. To prepare for potential adverse effects of future drought on Iowans, the Department of Natural Resources (DNR), Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship (IDALS), and the Department of Homeland Security and Emergency Management (HSEMD) are seeking input from stakeholders from all sectors to develop a robust and useful drought preparedness plan. A series of stakeholder input meetings are scheduled across the state throughout the month of July.This meeting in Cedar Rapids will take place at Kirkwood Community College, located at 6301 Kirkwood Blvd SW in Cedar Rapids. The meeting will be facilitated by HSEMD and will begin at 9:00 AM on July 21. More information about the meeting room and parking will be provided closer to the event.
