Northeast Brazil Drought Monitor
The Drought Monitor is a process of regular and periodic monitoring of the drought situation in the Northeast, whose consolidated results are disseminated through the Drought Monitor Map. Monthly information on the drought situation is made available until the previous month, with indicators that reflect the short term (last 3, 4 and 6 months) and the long term (last 12, 18 and 24 months), indicating the evolution of the drought in the region.

Find more databases and developed systems
The UNCCD Drought Toolbox provides you with a catalog of databases and developed systems to monitor drought in your region. The Drought Resilience, Adaptation and Management Policy (DRAMP) Framework, and its guidelines and background documents, as well as the Handbook of Drought Indicators and Indices and database and Integrated Drought Management HelpDesk monitoring and early warning section, provide an overview for possible indicators and indices for drought monitoring.
Do you want to find raw data, monitoring or early warning systems now?
We will ask you a few simple questions that will help you find the right database or developed systems for your assessment.
You can select more than one option or skip the questions when you are not sure about the answer. Click on the blue-button now. For more information on how to use the tool click here.
The methodology and the solutions displayed in this tool were compiled and based on expert knowledge.
Frequently asked questions
- What is the Drought Toolbox?
-
The drought toolbox is a web page that provides UNCCD stakeholders easy access to tools, case studies, and other resources to support action on drought preparedness with the aim of boosting the resilience of people and ecosystems to drought. Read more here.
- How do I know which tool I need?
-
The drought toolbox provides tools and solutions organised in three key pillars: monitoring and early warning systems, vulnerability and risk assessment, and risk mitigation. It is recommended to read the Drought Resilience, Adaptation and Management Policy (DRAMP) Framework to find a strategic approach to the search for tools.
- How can I use the tools of this drought toolbox?
-
On each of the three key pillars of the drought toolbox, you will find a page that will explain how to use each of the tools developed in totally by UNCCD or in partnership with other institutions and organizations. Get more information on how to use the tools for pillar one monitoring and early warning systems, pillar two vulnerability and risk assessment, and pillar 3 risk mitigation.
- What do we mean by a tool?
-
A range of methods, resources, technical instruments, and guidance documents are labeled as ‘tools’ or ‘solutions’ in this drought toolbox. Many of them are very useful to guide the management and the connection between the environment, water resources, society, and drought.
- Where can I find more information about drought?
-
Nowadays there are many sources of information on drought. We invite you to look for more information on each of the pillars on the "read more" page for pillar one, pillar two and pillar three. We also invite you to visit our Knowledge Hub page, where you will also find extensive information on the topic.

À propos de la panoplie de moyens sur la sécheresse
Dans le cadre de l'Initiative sur la sécheresse sollicitée lors de la COP 13, une "panoplie de moyens sur la sécheresse" (Drought Toolbox en anglais) a eté conçue pour fournir aux parties prenantes un accès facile à des outils, études de cas et autres ressources destinées à soutenir la conception de Plans Nationaux de Lutte Contre la Sécheresse et visant à renforcer la résilience des populations et des écosystèmes à la sécheresse.
La panoplie de moyens sur la sécheresse rassemble un grand nombre d'outils organisés en 3 modules.
Surveillance de la sécheresse et alerte précoce.
Évaluation de la vulnérabilité et des risques de sécheresse.
Measures d'atténuation des risques de sécheresse.
La panoplie de moyens sur la sécheresse est actuellement mise au point via une étroite collaboration entre la Convention des Nations Unies sur la lutte contre la désertification (CNULCD), l'Organisation météorologique mondiale (OMM), l'Organisation des Nations Unies pour l'alimentation et l'agriculture (FAO pour son acronyme en anglais), le Partenariat mondial de l'eau (GWP pour son acronyme en anglais), le Centre National de Mitigation de la Sécheresse (NDMC pour son acronyme en anglais) de l'Université du Nebraska, ainsi que le Centre pour l’Eau et l’Environnement (PNUE-DHI).

Sobre el Conjunto de Instrumentos Contra la Sequía
Como parte de la Iniciativa sobre la Sequía solicitado por la COP 13, el Conjunto de Instrumentos para la sequía (Drought Toolbox en inglés) se está diseñando para proporcionar a los actores interesados en la sequía un fácil acceso a los materiales, estudios de casos y otros recursos para apoyar el diseño de los Planes de Política Nacional con el objetivo de impulsar la resiliencia de las personas y de los ecosistemas.
El conjunto de instrumentos para la sequía reúne un gran número de materiales organizados en 3 módulos.
Monitoreo de Sequías y Alerta Temprana.
Analisis de Vulnerabilidad y Riesgo a Sequia.
Medidas de Mitigación del Riesgo de Sequía.
El Conjunto de instrumentos contra la sequía está siendo desarrollada actualmente por la estrecha colaboración entre la Convención de las Naciones Unidas en la Lucha contra la Desertificación (CNULD), la Organización Meteorológica Mundial (OMM), la Organización de las Naciones Unidas para la Alimentación y la Agricultura (FAO por sus siglas en inglés), la Asociación Mundial para el Agua (GWP por sus siglas en inglés), el Centro Nacional de Mitigación de Sequías (NDMC por sus siglas en inglés) de la Universidad de Nebraska, y el Centro para el Agua y el Medio Ambiente (UNEP-DHI por sus siglas en inglés).
