Drought is a reoccurring phenomenon, with its impact spreading to more areas each year. Preparedness efforts rely on available resources, both natural and human. This study examines the characteristics of areas exposed to drought, focusing on natural and human resource variables. The study covers villages and their residents, using descriptive analysis and frequency distribution tables for data interpretation. Findings show that in areas experiencing drought, land use is divided into 31.51% paddy fields, 51.98% dry land, and 16.51% residential yards. The average annual rainfall is 171 mm, with rainfall occurring on only eight days per year. Rice fields use water from semi-technical and rainfed irrigation. Human resources in these regions are limited, with most residents having only primary school education and agriculture as their main occupation. Over the past five years, these areas have consistently experienced drought, highlighting the need for targeted mitigation strategies.
