Are you concerned about entering a drought status in our county? Help the ND Drought Monitor by filing a weekly report so that they have accurate information when setting the drought level for Pierce County.
Reports can be submitted at https://go.unl.edu/cmor from a
computer, tablet or mobile device.
To use a mobile device to submit a report, you must first download
and setup the Survey 123 application. Follow these steps to
download and setup the application.
1. Download the Survey123 application from the
app store or by using this QR code.
2. Once installed, the app will open and ask you
to use device location. This option will make
geotagging information more accurate, but it is
not required.
3. Allowing the app to access your pictures and camera will help
when submitting reports with photos.
4. Tap “continue without signing in.”
5. Next, download the CMOR survey.

the camera.

To submit a CMOR report with a mobile device:

4. Use the form to pinpoint your location, or provide your
jurisdiction, as well as the date of your observation or photo.
5. How dry or wet is it? Pick from seven levels, ranging from
severely dry to severely wet. Short descriptions can be found
on the survey to help you determine a level.
6. Enter how many times you have experienced these conditions
in the past and whether they are localized or widespread.
7. What impacts of drought or flooding are you experiencing?
Tap any categories that are relevant to you, and see a list of
potential impacts. Then, select all that you are experiencing.
8. Upload a photo. By uploading an optional photo, you
agree that it may be used and shared for educational and
management purposes. If you plan to submit regular reports,
the photo should be of the same spot to provide a consistent
set of observations to contrast changing conditions.
9. Provide any additional description information.

not shared publicly by the National Drought Mitigation Center.
