This review will encompass data sources, metrics, and indicators for characterizing drought in the context of changing drought baselines and trends.

The committee will recommend a framework for incorporating non-stationarity considerations into drought assessment in a changing climate, for use across a range of geographic regions and of spatial and temporal scales and to inform decision-making for short-term risk management and long-term adaptation.
