The National Weather Service is no longer providing language translations of its products, a change that experts say could put non-English speakers at risk of missing potentially life-saving warnings about extreme weather.

To understand the T**** Admin, #Republicans, and everything they are doing, one need only realize:
THEY. ARE. TRYING. TO. #PRIVATIZE. EVERYTHING.
(#Education, #HHS, #NIH, #FEMA, #NOAA...)
And if it costs those corporations money (like increasing wages), they block it. #ItsAllAboutTheBenjamins #DisasterPresidency #Privatization
Hmmm, #NOAA weather-photo-of-the-day is gone?
Toxic acid rain could be back due to Trump’s rollback policies. The scientist who discovered it warns of an imminent repeat of an environmental hazard.

Update. "US Weather Agency to Preserve Research Websites in Reversal"
https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-04-04/us-weather-agency-to-preserve-research-websites-in-reversal
"The US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Agency [#NOAA] will preserve access to websites tied to its research division, after previously moving to cancel a cloud web services contract that supports many of its pages. Bloomberg News had reported earlier that the service contract for NOAA’s Office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research — known as NOAA Research — had been set to terminate this week, jeopardizing access to most of the office’s public-facing websites. But in an emailed statement Friday, NOAA said that the sites will be preserved."
Que disparate, van a bajar hoy cantidad de datos y subdominios re NOAA con datos climáticos y atmosféricos por recortes del DOGE, igual que en CDC con cantidad de investigaciones sobre el covid y otras enfermedades... que onda? se respaldo en algun lado eso? #doge #trump #noaa #rompantodo

Update on #NOAA #OAR from a Science journalist
An update on this story for @science.org: A NOAA source tells me that OAR just had a reprieve to find another cloud-services host and that this contract will not be killed at midnight.
Good news -- but indicative of the chaos that Commerce is putting NOAA through
Ending the contract would have made much bigger ripples than simply taking down a few OAR websites.
For example, it would have taken down the entire infrastructure stack for the Earth Prediction Innovation Center -- an effort pioneered by Neil Jacobs, Trump's NOAA nominee, in his previous term.

@johncarlosbaez Important: you can contact / follow the people here on @SafeguardingResearch (for more projects) - also @lavaeolus
People who can help saving the data (URGENT!) pls look at the post above! And here https://forum.safeguar.de/t/noaa-all-services-specifically-amazon-web-servies-urgent/569
The early CXL of an Amazon Web Svcs contract means: a slew of NOAA websites are slated to go dark at midnight. This mainly would affect NOAA's research division, & will make numerous websites & data sets inaccessible to the public.
It's another example -admin: taking data offline across the govt.
The COMM Dept is requiring #NOAA -to
cut its IT budget by 50% across the board.
There's a light at the end of the tunnel, but...

NOAA Weather will delete websites using Amazon, Google cloud services Saturday
Update April 5th:
We got everything we can.
The amount of help has been very awesome - we did good 
If you think you can help with more than a few TB and/or with additional contacts etc. pp.
Please write an email to contact@safeguar.de
We (@SafeguardingResearch) need urgent help with archiving websites & datasets from NOAA, specifically the stuff on Amazon Web Services (AWS):

NOAA operations are slowed by mandate for Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick to approve ALL contracts/contract extensions above $100,000. This nearly led to a significant deterioration of National Weather Service operations last night.
This is NOT efficiency.

Your disaster kit needs a weather radio—it’s a lifeline for #NOAA and #FCC alerts in emergencies. But imagine getting not just audio updates but also images, charts, & reports off the grid. The future of weather radios: https://spectrum.ieee.org/software-defined-radio #SDR
