A. They each launched the same year: 2007. The iPhone is in its fifth generation; drought.gov might be in its second. It's time to rethink this portal to all things drought-related, so drought.gov can continue to fulfill its part in the mission of the National Integrated Drought Information System.
NIDIS was tasked seven years ago with developing a national internet-based clearinghouse for data, models, risk information, and impacts of drought, with responsibility for archiving and disseminating data through a Web-based portal.

This session looks at the redesign of drought.gov, and the ways it seeks to bring drought information to a wide public through graphics, relevant updates, intuitive navigation and user-friendly structure.
