The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has projected an above-average hurricane season, forecasting 13-19 named storms and significant risks of tornadoes, wildfires, and extreme heat. Coupled with this, NOAA faces workforce reductions and budget cuts, jeopardizing emergency preparedness. Recent disasters, like a tornado in St. Louis, underscored the slow response of FEMA, raising concerns about the agency's capacity to assist after such events. Experts warn that Americans might struggle with inadequate disaster response due to these limitations, especially during this dangerous period from May to October.
I think Americans are going to start seeing after a major disaster that the response they normally see from FEMA is just not there.
It's not just hurricane season, but disaster season in general. Recent tornadoes have killed dozens of people.
