The most notable impact of El Niño is the drought and the potential for a diminished supply of fresh water. By the spring and summer of 1998, American Samoa was dealing with its worst drought in recorded history. However, this drought was still much less severe than previous droughts. The difference between the 1998 drought and the previous ones is that the Weather Service Office, the Territorial Emergency Management Coordinating Office, and ASPA circulated water conservation announcements on radio and TV programs throughout the territory. This alerted the community and prepared them for potential droughts. Unlike other Pacific Islands that imposed water restrictions at the time, the drought did not require water rationing in this U.S. insular territory. One question I have is how can we help with droughts in our daily life?]]> 2023-04-14 21:43:29 UTC https://padlet.com/10586101/knu3o3tk4mkgsdrs/wish/2555005997
