This is as unconscionable as it is dangerous. The #NTWC and #PTWC are *critical* to #tsunami safety and security of the #US.
Call your Reps & Sens now, before the next #Tohoku or other severe #earthquake results in an ocean-wide tsunami.
Most people are probably unaware of how few staff actually work at the National and Pacific Tsunami Warning Centers. With very few staff, these scientists monitor in 24/7 shifts to keep our coastal areas safe. I guess the admin doesn’t consider them “public safety” roles. #NOAA #NTWC #PTWC
NOTE: #TsunamiAlerts for #PuertoRico and #VirginIslands are issued by the #PTWC or #PacificTsunamiWarningCenter, not the NTWC or National Tsunami Warning System.
