Lamar County Multi- Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan <br />Chapter Three <br />Throughout history Texas has been prone to droughts. These droughts are caused by a <br />combination of weather patterns and geographic location. All areas of the state and Lamar <br />County are susceptible to drought. The rural areas of the county, that are highly agricultural are <br />the most vbulnerable to the drought and usually feel it first. Just an inch shortage of rian fall can <br />cause crops to fail and the needed supplemental feeding of cattle. In Figure 2 a look at the Texas <br />Drought Monitor shows that Lamar County was in a Moderate Drought on March 3,2009 but <br />according to the April 7, 2009 the county had improved to abnormally dry conditions. <br />FIGURE 2: Texas Drought Monitor (March 3,2000 top & April 7, 2009 bottom) <br />Orolrght Conditions tPerrenr Area) <br />rn1ansnv: <br />fat Annorreally Ury . b3 Gmught E <ernr. <br />0 aM,ghI - t.lttirr_ r. .
