"The BC Government, in collaboration with Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, has completed a BC Drought Response Plan. This plan builds on existing tools and outlines the actions taken preceding, during and immediately following a drought to reduce its impacts. It includes communication steps required to ensure timely and appropriate action. Input from the regional drought planning workshops (March - May 2010) helped inform the response plan. Information in the plan includes: responsibilities of agencies at both the provincial and the local levels; recommended actions to take prior to the onset of drought; drought response; criteria designed to aid decisions makers to determine when to elevate drought responses to higher levels; recommended actions to undertake at each drought level; recommended actions to undertake after drought conditions have subsided."--Abstract as viewed from Ministry of Environment, Water Stewardship Division website, July 16, 2010: http://www.env.gov.bc.ca/wsd/public_safety/drought_info/index.html
