Project gathers 10 countries with 23 partners in total and it is coordinated by Slovenian’s ARSO. DHMZ is main partner and MZOE is associated partner from Croatia. The project lasts three years and has started in January 2017.The main objective of the project is to increase the capacity of the Danube region to manage drought related risks. The special goals of the project are: (i) to develop Drought User Service which will enable more accurate and efficient drought monitoring and timely early warning ; (ii) to harmonize the currently heterogeneous methodologies for drought risk and impact assessments ; and (iii) to prepare the DriDanube Strategy which will improve decision-making process in all parts of the drought management cycle and strengthen capacities of the stakeholders. In this work current achievements regarding the three main goals of the project will be presented with special light on DHMZ’s role. Maps of estimated drought impact on main crop yield, fruits, viticulture, olives and forest will be shown and the experience in establishing the national drought reporters network will be presented. These maps are published weekly on DHMZ’s web site. Also, the preliminary model for DriDanube Strategy to improve drought emergency response will be presented and the involvement of the stakeholders in Croatia will be explained.
