The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has been notified by the Trump Administration to prepare to lose another 1,000 staff in the next month, in addition to the roughly 1,300 that resigned and were laid off in recent weeks, representing a 20% reduction in its nearly 13,000 workforce. Managers at NOAA have been told to draw up proposals for layoffs and reorganization by Tuesday, which many scientists are warning will severely limit operations at NOAA agencies critical to national security like the National Weather Service (NWS) and the National Hurricane Center (NHC), who have already lost hundreds of meteorologists and forecasters since January, a worrying prospect as Atlantic Hurricane Season approaches for the Southeastern United States.
