The recent layoffs at NOAA, part of cuts initiated by Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency, prompted strong criticism from environmental advocates and federal legislators. Hundreds of scientists and experts have reportedly lost their jobs, raising concerns about the future of vital weather forecasting and emergency services provided by the agency. U.S. Rep. Jared Huffman expressed grave concerns about the consequences of these cuts, emphasizing the reliance of Americans on NOAA for accurate weather information. Although NOAA did not provide specific details about the layoffs, it reaffirmed its commitment to its public safety mission and ongoing provision of essential services.
People nationwide depend on NOAA for free, accurate forecasts, severe weather alerts, and emergency information. Purging the government of scientists... will cost lives.
Musk's sham mission is bringing vital programs to a screeching halt... slashing fundamental programs will cost lives.
NOAA remains dedicated to its mission... providing timely information, research and resources that serve the American public.
It appeared that many were considered probationary employees, meaning they were recently hired.
