Maintain NOAA staffing for reliable weather forecasting, public safety

I urge you to immediately reverse these terminations of hundreds of weather forecasters and probationary employees at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). Maintaining adequate staffing levels at NOAA and the National Weather Service is crucial for providing reliable weather forecasts, issuing timely hazard warnings, and protecting lives and property from severe weather events across the country. This drastic reduction in workforce threatens to undermine NOAA's ability to effectively monitor weather conditions, conduct research, and disseminate vital information to communities.
