What should you do in a drought?

Well, other then the advice of getting the heck out of there, I would suggest going to high elevation, and try to find a mountain,tree or lake. If you find a tree (works best with oak) try scouring the land near it so that you can mabye find moss to soak up the water supply to the plant. If you find a mountain, climb to the top. There will probally be a stream, small pond or snow. If you find a lake, unless you're IQ is below zero, I think that you'll know what to do with it. If you not 100 percent sure that the water is clean or mabye has bugs or germs in it, make a fire, get a container, put the water in the container and put that to boil, after half an hour, take it off, and drain it again. It will now be clean.
