Description

Although the public health effects of drought can be severe, they are often hard to observe or measure directly, making them easy to overlook. In response to a growing need for increased awareness of, and better resources related to, the relationship between drought and public health, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has just published the new guide Preparing for the Health Effects of Drought: a Resource Guide for Public Health Officials.
