Mike Kehoe has signed Executive Order 25-29, declaring a drought alert in Missouri until Dec. 1. The executive order declares a Drought Alert in these Missouri counties and any additional county that begins experiencing moderate drought conditions. During drought, local condition reports are crucial to understanding impacts to provide timely and appropriate assistance. The Missouri Drought Mitigation and Response Plan calls for intergovernmental communication, cooperation, and coordination of efforts in drought mitigation activities. The one-stop drought website features a link to CMOR, current drought-related news, the current United States and Missouri drought maps, the Missouri Drought Mitigation and Response Plan, and other resources, including information on previous droughts.
