An assumption could be made that the percentage of insured crops in the planning area is at least that high, if not higher, due to the importance of agriculture in the planning area.University of Missouri Extension has a number of publications for both farmers and homeowners to help mitigate the effects of drought. They are available at: http://extension.missouri.edu/main/DisplayCategory.aspx?C=257The Missouri Department of Natural Resources (MoDNR): MoDNR has a drought response system based on the PDSI and has four phases of increasing severity:? Phase 1: Advisory Phase - Water monitoring analysis indicates anticipated drought.? Phase 2: Drought Alert - PDSI reads -10 to -20; and stream flow, reservoir levels and groundwater levels are below normal over a period of several months.? Phase 3: Conservation Phase - PDSI reads between -2 to -4; stream flow, reservoir levels and groundwater levels continue to decline; and forecasts indicate an extended period of below-normal precipitation.? Phase 4: Drought Emergency - PSDI reads lower than -4.MoDNR also publishes the weekly Missouri map from The Drought Monitor on their website at: http://www.dnr.mo.gov/env/wrc/drought/nationalcondition.htm.(38.951705°, -92.334072°)(37.09024°, -95.712891°)
