FEMA NRI Expected Annual Loss Estimates <br />A drought NRI EAL score, and rating represent a community's relative level of expected agriculture loss <br />each year due to droughts when compared to the rest of the United States. The EAL score is positively <br />associated with a community’s risk; therefore, a higher EAL score results in a higher Risk Index score. <br />Table 4-47 outlines the drought EAL for Kittitas County. <br />Table 4-47.
