Major principal components of state-level drought awareness and state-level drought risk over the United States. Scores of the first and second principal component modes of drought awareness (DAPC1 and DAPC2) are shown in (a) and (b), respectively. Temporal correlations of DAPC1 with DAi and DRi are shown in (c) and (e), respectively. Temporal correlations of DAPC2 with DAi and DRi are shown in (d) and (f), respectively
