The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration is facing layoffs that could cut nearly 20% of its workforce, severely hampering its ability to produce life-saving weather forecasts and track climate change impacts. Our state depends on NOAA's vital services to prepare for hurricanes, tornadoes, and natural disasters that threaten our communities. A staffing reduction of this magnitude would undermine NOAA's forecasting capabilities, fisheries management, and environmental monitoring efforts that are crucial for public safety and economic security. Voice your opposition to these detrimental workforce cuts that endanger NOAA's mission and our state's welfare.
