Sign Up Today for Phase 2 of the CISA and CoCoRaHS Condition Monitoring Pilot Project!

The national launch of the new CoCoRaHS condition monitoring report form occurred on October 10th. The reporting form has been updated to include a condition monitoring scale bar in order to create a more streamlined process for CoCoRaHS observers to submit their reports. A reporting guide for condition monitoring can be found on the CoCoRaHS website.

The second phase of CISA’s condition monitoring research project also focuses on a web map developed to display reports spatially, recruiting new volunteers, conducting volunteer surveys to gather feedback, and conducting interviews to understand how the new tools are used for drought monitoring and management decisions.

Are you interested in submitting condition monitoring reports as part of this research project? Are you willing to share feedback about your experiences through three online surveys over the course of one year? If so, please complete our Volunteer Information Form to be added to the project volunteer list.

Thank you to all of our new and continuing observers who attended our training webinars. If you were not able to attend, the presentation can be found here on the CISA webpage.
