LETTER: Support for legislation to reauthorize National Integrated Drought Information System
Page 2 of 2
Dear Representative Luján:
The purpose of this letter is to communicate the support of the Western Governors’ Association (WGA) for H.R. 2431, legislation to reauthorize the National Integrated Drought Information System (NIDIS). WGA commends you for co-sponsoring this legislation.
As you may know, Western Governors promoted the creation of NIDIS in 2006, and WGA has since worked with NOAA and other partners to champion the system’s deployment. Western Governors are well-acquainted with the significant impacts that drought has on the West. Drought contributes to forest and rangeland fires, degrades growing conditions for farmers, and poses threats to municipal and industrial water supplies.
