This includes aspects such as creating a profile\, logging in\, responding to the eligibility quiz\, and how to upload evidence to support drought impact claims. \nThe format of this informational “webinar” is casual and open. Questions are welcome throughout but we will also reserve time at the end for Q&A and connecting folks with the appropriate providers. Offered in English only at this time.
