About this episode
Hurricane season is here.
June 1 marks its official start and NOAA says it could be a busy one. But with the Trump administration's recent cuts to federal agencies, including FEMA, how ready are we to respond when disaster hits?
How will reductions in staff – and budgets – affect the government's ability to predict severe weather?
We discuss how the country is gearing up for a summer of storms.
