Don't Take Risks Learn To Manage Well.

The effects of drought can be substantially reduced if people are well informed and motivated toward a culture of disaster prevention and resilience.
Effective information management and exchange requires strengthening dialogue and networks among disaster researchers, practitioners, and stakeholders in order to foster consistent knowledge collection and meaningful message dissemination.
Education and training are essential for all people in order to reduce local drought risk.
Increasing individual, community, institutional and national capacities is essential to reducing vulnerability to drought impact.

If you have a well at home, check your pump periodically. If the pump turns on and off while water is not being used, you have a leak.
Use a shut-off nozzle on your hose, so that water flows only as needed. When finished, turn it off at the faucet to avoid leaks.
If you have a swimming pool, consider installing a new water-saving pool filter. A single backflushing with a traditional filter uses 180 to 250 gallons of water.
Participate in public water conservation meetings conducted by your local government, utility or water management district. Support projects that lead to an increased use of reclaimed wastewater.

Electrocution by contact with downed energized lines, or objects in contact with fallen lines.
When floods occur, debris and downed trees can block public roads and damage power lines. As with the electrical hazards, when removing trees and clearing debris there are potential hazards of electrocution from contact with downed power lines or tree limbs in contact with power lines, falls from heights, and being struck or crushed by falling tree limbs.
Gasoline and diesel powered generators, pumps, and pressure washers all release carbon monoxide, a deadly, colorless, odorless gas. These devices must be operated out of doors and never inside confined spaces.
Workers involved in flood preparation and cleanup activities are at risk of back, knee, and shoulder injuries from manual lifting and handling of building materials, sandbags, and fallen tree limbs.
