Drought Reports

Drought reports are a product of the climate center and are currently published at http://drought.nmsu.edu/nmcc/drought/. These files are usually in PDF format, so a PDF reader will have to be installed on the client computer to view the reports.

Adding a report

Adding a drought report to the website is done through the admin interface of the Django web framework installed on the Drought server.

1. Login to the admin site (user name and password should never be stored online). View a screenshot here.

2. From the main admin page, choose the Reports link under the Drought catagory.

3. The Drought Reports admin page will have a list of all the previously saved reports. To add a new report, click the Add report button in the upper right corner of the page. View a screenshot here.

4. The add report page has a year, month, and file name field. Enter the year and month for the report (Note that if a future month or year is entered, the report will not save). Using the browse button next to the File name field, choose the file to upload. When all fields are completed on this page, press the save button in the lower right of the page.

5. The report is now saved. The Drought Reports admin page will reflect this. Also, the Drought Reports web page will be updated.
