SERVIR scientists discuss the how the Regional Drought Monitoring and Early Warning System is being used in the Hindu Kush Himalaya region.
The Regional Drought Monitoring and Outlook System (RDMOS) was developed to help predict, mitigate, and adequately respond to drought vulnerabilities in the HKH region.
ICIMOD, under its SERVIR-Hindu Kush Himalaya (SERVIR-HKH) and Climate Services for Resilient Development (CSRD) Initiatives, is collaborating with technical organizations in the United States and meteorological and agricultural institutions in the HKH to establish a regional agricultural drought monitoring and early warning system.
