As hurricane season begins, federal agencies face challenges

Season 2025 Episode 152 | 4m 03s

Sunday marks the official start of what NOAA forecasters predict will be an above-normal Atlantic hurricane season. But big staffing cuts at NOAA and FEMA are raising questions about the federal government's ability to forecast and track these storms and the cleanup and recovery efforts in their aftermath. Leah Douglas, agriculture and energy policy reporter at Reuters, joins John Yang to discuss.
