Nevada’s Drought Response Committee continuously monitors hydrological conditions, weather patterns, and water supply levels, ensuring early detection of emerging drought conditions and enabling proactive responses. Emergency response plans, such as the drought response plan, are in place for swift and effective actions. Collaborative efforts with neighboring states and federal agencies enhance the region’s ability to withstand droughts, and long-term planning includes sustainable water management practices, infrastructure investments, and measures to ensure Nevada's water security in the face of environmental shifts.
