FEWS NET's science team is a multiagency, multidisciplinary collaboration dedicated to the monitoring of agroclimatic and hydrological conditions using satellite data, on the ground observations, advanced analytical tools, and expert knowledge. Through this effort, we provide routine reports and outlooks for hazards monitoring and early warning. This platform is designed to foster data sharing and provision of timely evidence-based information to support the early identification of emerging droughts and food crises in vulnerable regions. The resources below point to key partner webpages, catalogs of databases, and routine monitoring and forecasting reports to support governments and humanitarian agencies in decision-making and effective response.
