With the Atlantic hurricane season kicking off on June 1, U.S. forecasters predict an above-average storm period. But this year comes with an alarming twist: critical federal agencies face major staffing cuts just as disaster response is needed most.
These budget-driven shortages could delay vital weather tracking and emergency management services, putting millions along America's vulnerable coastlines at risk. CGTN's Nitza Soledad Perez reports that the cuts may hinder timely responses when severe weather strikes.
As communities brace for the storm, experts urge residents in high-risk areas to stay alert, prepare emergency plans, and follow safety guidelines. Being proactive and informed is key when nature shows its fiercest side. Stay safe and prepared! ⚠️
