The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is planning significant staff reductions, potentially impacting 20% of its workforce.
These cuts, alongside recent resignations and layoffs, raise serious concerns about NOAA's ability to provide vital weather forecasts.
The Trump administration's downsizing efforts are driving these changes, leaving NOAA significantly understaffed as hurricane season approaches.
This reduction in staff could severely compromise NOAA's effectiveness in crucial areas such as hurricane prediction and environmental monitoring.
