Missouri Is Updating Its Drought Relief Response Plan

(MISSOURINET) –  The Missouri Department of Natural Resources is working on revising the state’s drought relief response plan. DNR’s Michael Weller says the plan looks at how to reduce drought impacts, adapt to the changing climate and improve monitoring capabilities. It does not address the impacts of water navigation.

There will be a 30-day comment period to review the plan before being finalized in spring 2023. Weller says the plan will continue to be updated periodically.
