<a href="http://www.oregon.gov/owrd/Pages/wr/drought.aspx">emergency drought status</a>. The Public Health Division has pulled together a drought team and is coordinating risk communication with other State agencies. We're looking to our neighbors and learning
from new resources such as the <a href="http://phasocal.org/water-initiative/">Water Crisis & Health</a> initiative of the Public Health Alliance of Southern California.<o:p></o:p></p>

poses many <a href="https://public.health.oregon.gov/Preparedness/Prepare/Pages/PrepareForDrought.aspx">
potential health problems</a>. Some health effects occur in the short-term and can be observed and measured. But the slow appearance and chronic nature of drought also results in longer-term, indirect health effects that are not always easy to anticipate. It
can have effects not only our physical health, but also our mental health. As we experience changes in the landscape, conflicts in water use, risks of income loss and displacement, and increased pressure on our food systems, communities are challenged to
cope with the extra stress that drought can bring. <o:p></o:p></p>
