Lesson 7 - Drought Study Guide Overview In Lesson 7 you will learn to identify the conditions for drought. You will study its primary and secondary effects, its natural and human causes, and where it occurs. Examples of previous drought relief operations will help you in planning a drought relief program. You will examine drought mitigation measures and preparation activities. You will estimate and assess the impact of drought on a country and identify steps to combat famine in a population. Learning Objectives • Define drought. • Locate drought zones throughout the world. • Explain the natural causes of drought. • Explain the human-induced causes of drought. • Identify primary and secondary effects of a drought. • Indicate the value of drought prediction and describe monitoring techniques. • Illustrate the types of feeding programs used in a drought-induced famine. • Assess the impact of drought’s effects on a country’s economy. • List drought mitigation and emergency steps proved useful in previous relief operations. Describe long-term programs that are useful in combating drought when it does take place. Learning Activities • Read Chapter 7 in the text. • Study Drought Disaster Overview. • Review Appendix I. Evaluation Complete the self-assessment test.
