Drought resources are being enacted as Governor Mike Parson signed an Executive Order declaring a drought alert in Missouri until March 31, 2025. Currently, the U.S. Drought Monitor indicates that all or portions of at least 88 Missouri counties are experiencing moderate, severe, or extreme drought conditions. “While the weather did improve this spring, allowing us to let our previous drought alert expire, the last few months have been dry, forcing us to reissue a drought alert in Missouri,” Governor Parson said.
