Drought risk index uses the meteorological drought hazard index and the socioeconomic drought vulnerability aspects to assess the level of drought risk in an area. This study examined the extent and spatial pattern of drought risk in, Tigray region, one of the recurrently drought-affected areas in Ethiopia. Monthly Gridded Climatic Research Unit (CRU) Time-series (TS) data version 4.01 data on twelve selected stations, was used to calculate the Standard Precipitation and Evapotranspiration Index (SPEI). Additionally, socioeconomic data collected from various sources were also used to assess drought vulnerability. Drought risk levels of each district were, then calculated based on the drought hazard and drought vulnerability indices. The res...
