Improving Drought Monitoring Act

This bill requires government agencies to work together better on tracking droughts and responding to them. It creates a working group that must recommend ways to improve the data used in the U.S. Drought Monitor, which is a map that shows where droughts are happening across the country and how severe they are. The bill extends funding for the drought monitoring program through 2030 and requires two agriculture agencies to coordinate their drought response activities better.
