“Extreme
weather season is almost here. Make sure you’re ready.” Yale Climate Connection (4-30-25).
Temperatures are heating up, and
hurricane season is around the corner. As the Trump administration cuts staff
and budgets at departments like NOAA and FEMA, Americans risk being less able
to prepare and respond to weather disasters than they were this time last year.
