Abstract. Implementation of agriculturally related early warning systems is fundamental for the management of droughts. Additionally, risk-based approaches are superior in tackling future drought hazards. Due to data-scarcity in many regions, high resolution satellite imagery data are becoming widely used. Focusing on ENSO warm and cold phases, we employ a risk-based approach for drought assessment in the Bolivian Altiplano using satellite imagery data and application of an early warning system. We use a newly established high resolution satellite dataset and test its accuracy as well as performance to similar (but with less resolution) datasets available for the Bolivian Altiplano. It is shown that during the El Niño years (warm ENSO phase), the result is great difference in risk and crop yield. Furthermore, the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) can be used to target specific hot spots on a very local scale. As a consequence, ENSO early warning forecasts as well as possible magnitudes of crop deficits could be established by the government, including an identification of possible hotspots during the growing season. Our approach therefore should not only help in determining the magnitude of assistance needed for farmers on the local scale but also enable a pro-active approach to disaster risk management against droughts that can include economic-related instruments such as insurance as well as risk reduction instruments such as irrigation.
