Well well well.

>The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said Monday it will hire for “mission-critical field positions” amid expert warnings that the National Weather Service has been cut too sharply just as hurricane season arrives.

Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency cuts gutted NWS and NOAA — which provide daily weather forecasts, up-to-the-minute severe storm warnings, climate monitoring and extreme weather tracking — earlier this year.

Hundreds of weather forecasters were fired and other federal NOAA employees were put on probationary status in February, followed by a later round of more than 1,000 cuts at the agency. By April, nearly half of NWS forecast offices had 20% vacancy rates. The Federal Emergency Management Agency has also been affected.

What does any of this have to do with people's ability to receive local weather and emergency broadcasts?
The answer is nothing. Nothing you've suggested here would've interfered with the ability to get the word out in time. Especially if this is a secluded place with shitty cell service. Then it really wouldn't have mattered at all how many paycheck-receivers were cut from their useless jobs where they can't even accurately tell me if it's gonna rain today or not.

I live in a small city in Idaho. People were pretty gung ho at first but now everyone's nervous. People expected trump to step up and announce a plan, not just let Elon run wild. It's the knock on effects people are getting nervous about. Yesterday it's tranny story hour, today it's staff at the Idaho National Laboratory and tomorrow it might be land management. Ranchers are getting nervous. They can't plan ahead, same with the mining companies, and forestry, and what about Micron? The CHIPS act was big news here but it's all in doubt now. Nobody can plan for a future when everyday is a surprise and the guy running things can't be held to account by voters and doesn't give a fuck about what state and local officials have concerns about. Nobody is hiring due to uncertainty the big fear is tomorrow might be firings as companies prepare to weather the storm that has no end in sight... Holy fuck nobody voted for fear like this

Not going to work memefaggot, that station had extra staff and they gave out flash flood warnings 36 hours beforehand. You're looking for someone to blame and it's the camp owners and parents, simple as.
