While the recent drought and related wildfires that have been reported in Montana have not affected Richland County directly, parts of the county are still dry and have not received the rain that the Sidney vicinity has. Montana State University Extension has created a drought and wildfire resources page that has some great information.
To find it, log onto the MSU Extension homepage (
http://msuextension.org) and click on the "Montana Wildfire and Drought Resources logo. Here is a sampling of the information you can find there.
- Links to the national and regional drought monitors
- Links to information regarding water conservation
- Links to smartphone apps that show where wildfires are currently burning
- Links to prepare your home and property in the event a wildfire is near
- Links to help recover after a wildfire
While that list does not encompass all of the resources available, it does give a fairly good summary.I would encourage anyone, whether they are currently impacted by drought and/or wildfires or not, to check out this invaluable resource.
