Experts from NOAA, USGS, and FEMA will introduce three related data sets on NOAA’s Water Resources Dashboard that can help utility managers and planners better understand flood risks by looking at precipitation data and river levels.
To supplement this effort, we will be holding a series of learning sessions to provide scientific and practical applied information re: the datasets on the dashboard. Information about the first session can be found by clicking on the article title.
Driven by feedback from water resource managers, federal agencies and others, NOAA and partners have developed the Water Resources Dashboard: a one-stop website for relevant water data on drought, flooding, precipitation, climate and other measures.

The NOAA Sectoral Applications Research Program (SARP) did not hold a competition in 2015 due to severe budget cuts. However, the SARP funding received from NIDIS to support the Coping with Drought Initiative, along with a small contribution from the SARP general funds, will be used to fund five top-rated proposals saved from the 2014
The University of Nebraska’s National Drought Mitigation Center (NDMC) has been selected as the new home for the Drought Risk Management Research Center (DRMRC). It is being supported with a three-year $2.4 million competitive grant award through NOAA’s Sectoral Applications Research Program (SARP) in support of the National Integrated Drought information System (NIDIS). SARP supports interdisciplinary
Dr. Paul Kirshen, a SARP-funded investigator from the University of New Hampshire, has been awarded a Water Resources Research Editor’s Choice Award for his work on “A risk-based approach to flood management decisions in a nonstationary world,” which was published in Water Resources in March 2014. Starting in 2011, Water Resources Research instituted the Editor’s
