  The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration includes the National Hurricane Center, which researches hurricanes and provides weather updates and forecasts for the dangerous storms. Employees at the agency are worried the Trump administration will cut support for their work.

The article from LAist discusses potential changes at NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) under the Trump administration. It highlights that Trump officials have been signaling a shift in focus towards enhancing weather forecasting capabilities, while possibly sidelining climate change research. This includes a review of NOAA's mission, with suggestions that the agency might prioritize short-term weather prediction over long-term climate studies. There's mention of a leaked memo indicating a reorganization that could see NOAA's climate research programs moved or diminished. Critics argue this move could undermine the agency's ability to address climate change, a key issue for environmental scientists. Additionally, there's concern over the potential influence of political appointees with ties to industries skeptical of climate science, which might affect NOAA's scientific integrity and its role in providing unbiased climate data.
