With some 90% of the Commonwealth experiencing Drought conditions, the Massachusetts Secretary of Energy and Environmental Affairs, Beth Card, has declared a Level 2-Significant Drought in Southeastern Mass, as well as the Northeast, Connecticut River Valley and Central portions of the state. 

 

The Islands are at Level One, while the Cape is considered normal for now. 

 

An Inter-Agency Mission Group is coordinating a response with various local entities this summer.
