Depends on the situation. Some droughts happen all of a sudden but most of the time droughts are pretty predictable. You start losing water and not being able to get as much water as you used to. Usually small towns deal with it as a whole and ration off water to each family. Large cities however deal with it differently.
There is no time limit on how long a drought can last.

Permanent is present or happening all the time. Periodic comes and goes at regular/predictable intervals. Noon is periodic.
