Acrossing USFrom rural societies to coastal cities, the National Administration of Oceanic and Air Country (NOAA) is an integral part of our daily lives, protecting our societies and promoting economic vitality.
Whether it follows a path HurricanesManaging fisheries in our nation, providing important information for air traffic monitors and airlines, or helping farmers to plan extremism in the weather, science, services and products in NOAA has a great impact on every American.
After she worked as a deputy director of NOAA and before that, her general advisor witnessed the indispensable role of this agency. the Trump administrationThe reckless Draconian proposal, in many cases, the illegal budget and discounts in the employees must all warn us.
These cuts will only do little to achieve their declared goal of reducing the size and cost of the government. Instead, they offer safety, economic prosperity and general welfare of our nation.
I would like to add that the administration’s assault on science is not limited to my previous agency. Government discounts raise anger and demonstrations throughout the country.
Every year, the National Weather Service (NOAA) is issued more than 1.5 million expectations and 50,000 weather warnings. By providing the important deadline before hurricanes, hurricanes, forest fires and severe storms, Noaaa’s forecasts provide billions of dollars in economic losses annually and thousands of lives.
Noaaa has underestimated the accuracy of the hurricane path expectations from the field of uncertainty in coastal evacuation operations, helping local governments, companies and families avoid unnecessary costs. A recent study was estimated that the improvements in prediction resulted in the annual cost of organ costs of $ 5 billion.
In the aviation industry, Noaa predictions and data control systems help ensure safe and effective operations. Micro weather information is necessary to plan flights, avoid harsh weather, ensure boot and safe landing. NOAA also follows the weather in space, including solar torches and geomic magnetic storms that can disrupt or interfere with the necessary technologies for safe air travel: satellite communications, GPS and aircraft connections.
The importance of NOAA’s work extends beyond public safety and economic savings to a group of private sector applications. Private weather providers such as Accuweather and Weather channel depend on the NOAA open data to provide local expectations, while insurance companies use them to assess political and specific policy rates.
The American commercial seafood industry supports about 1.7 million jobs and generates more than $ 300 billion annually in total sales. Fisheries Management, Research and Inspection programs in NOAA are very important to maintain these functions, maintain ecosystems, ensure strong seafood supply, and ensure the sale of safe seafood throughout the United States.
In addition, entertainment in salt water is an important economic engine in coastal societies, supports tens of thousands of jobs and contributes to billions annually to local economies. All this depends on well -managed fish fisheries and healthy marine habitats.
Moreover, NOAA marine reserves protect critical habitats, support biological diversity and provide opportunities for research, education and tourism, and contribute billions of dollars in local economies. For example, the Florida Keys National Marine Reserve, one of the 18 in the United States, is estimated at $ 4 billion annually to the Florida economy and supports 43,000 jobs.
Farmers and livestock are dependent on the seasonal and seasonal NOAA expectations to make decisions on agriculture, harvesting, irrigation and risk management. Dehydration or flooding can mean the difference between a profitable harvest and financial ruin.
Likewise, the US Department of Transport reports that more than $ 5.4 trillion of trade crosses US outlets annually. Marine plans, tidal tables and navigation services are necessary to maintain these ports and waterways operate safely and efficiently, and thus support global trade and local jobs.
Moreover, urban areas and emergency managers are dependent on all levels on NOAA climate data, long -term predictions and projections to design roads, bridges and flood defenses capable of hunting increased sea levels and powerful storms. By ensuring that infrastructure investments depend on accurate and updated data, billions of dollars can be avoided in the costs of reform and future disasters.
From protecting families in the way of intense storms to supporting the economic health of the hunting towns and agricultural societies, the noa programs are indispensable. Efforts before Trump administration Overcoming the agency through employee discounts in the budget and wholesale is not only misleading, but it is also dangerous. If President Trump and his administration are serious about making America great, they will realize that the financing of NOAA is an investment that provides lives, directs critical industries, enhances our economy and enhances the leadership of our global nation in innovation and science.
