Hundreds of NOAA and National Weather Service employees were laid off Thursday in the latest round of federal workforce cuts under President Donald Trump’s administration.
In an email, NOAA spokesperson Susan Buchanan said the agency will not discuss internal personnel matters and remains dedicated to its mission.
