People who live in #hurricane & #tornado country keep their “NOAA #weather radios” handy...
In theory, it sounds like one more bad thing to worry about. In practice, it’s much worse. We’ve just had a demonstration of precisely how effective NOAA is & what we stand to lose without it."

Who DOGE Hurts: Gutting NOAA
On March 12, there was reporting that the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) was preparing to lay off more than 1,000 workers as part of the Trump administration's "reductions in force" directive to federal agencies.Joyce Vance (Civil Discourse with Joyce Vance)

"Tornadoes likely amid storm outbreak
"The Storm Prediction Center said fast-moving storms could spawn twisters and hail as large as baseballs Friday, but the greatest threat would come from straight-line winds near or exceeding hurricane force, with gusts of 100 mph (160 kph) possible.
"A #TornadoWatch was issued until 11 p.m. for central and eastern #Missouri, including St. Louis, as well as parts of #Illinois and #Arkansas.
"The National Weather Service said it observed an evening tornado in the south-central Missouri city of #Grovespring.
"Other areas at risk included parts of #Iowa, #Kentucky, #Tennessee and #Mississippi.
"About 47 million people faced an enhanced to moderate severe storm threat from Madison, #Wisconsin, to Birmingham, #Alabama.
"Forecasters grew increasingly worried that intense thunderstorms farther south will likely bring an even greater tornado threat Saturday.
"The Storm Prediction Center said parts of #Mississippi including Jackson and Hattiesburg and areas of #Alabama including Birmingham and Tuscaloosa will be at a high risk. Severe storms and tornadoes are also possible across eastern #Louisiana, western #Georgia, central #Tennessee and the western #Florida Panhandle.
"'We have a lot of confidence that we most likely will have a tornado outbreak tomorrow,' Storm Prediction Center meteorologist Evan Bentley said in an online briefing."

Just ask #trump cuz he is blaming the plane accident in #washingtondc on diversity hiring practices.
Not him gutting the FAA like a definition of the stupidest person I know.
You know what the last thing I would ever cut is?
The guy in charge of whether flying planes is perfectly safe or 100% deadly for everyone involved.

Navigating the maze of insurance after destructive fires - Marketplace
Today: a conversation with California Insurance Commissioner Ricardo Lara about gaps in insurance and what the road to recovery might look like.Marketplace
Fixed something which has been bothering me for a few years. Every time there's a emergency/disaster, our local amateur radio airwaves go quiet (typically, because local repeaters stop working). So I've taken over the output frequency on the hour (er... more or less on the hour) to provide status updates to anyone who might hear me. Just so people know someone is out there.
(still have phone/Internet around here, so people still can get info... but it's been bugging me for years no one gets on at all to distribute info--not even for practice or to keep everyone fresh).

Given the natural disasters , LA fires for example, worldwide this is a good idea.

Don't fly your goddamn drones over fires. It grounded a plane when no one has enough of any of this equipment during a disaster. There is no conceivable scenario where anyone needs to do this.
