DROUGHT INFORMATION
The South Carolina Drought Response Committee (DRC) met on August 6, 2026, to evaluate statewide drought conditions. The DRC serves as the state’s primary drought decision-making body and determines drought severity levels as outlined in the S.C. Drought Response Act, which helps protect the state’s natural resources. The Act establishes four drought levels: incipient, moderate, severe, and extreme. For more information about the DRC and the SC Drought Response Program, visit scdrought.com.
