The general public can submit Drought Conditions Monitoring Reports (CMOR) via Drought.org. Regular reports from the public are what help create a more accurate map of drought in Alabama. You can support this work by submitting drought reports through the Condition Monitoring Observer Reports survey. This is a nation-wide service created by the National Drought Mitigation Center in collaboration with the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the National Integrated Drought Information System.

Condition Monitoring Observer Reports on Drought (CMOR-Drought) is a tool that allows citizen scientists to submit observation reports relating to drought, which are presented in a map that can be used to view and access submitted information and attachments.
