The Federal Emergency Management Agency is “not ready” for hurricane season, which starts on June 1, according to internal documents.  Revelations of FEMA being ill-prepared ahead of Hurricane season come as the agency has seen a 30% reduction in its workforce due to DOGE layoffs and buyouts.

The Journal added that FEMA “is already months behind schedule in its preparations for the hurricane season,” which forecasters expect will be busier than usual, like last year. The season’s official start date is June 1, but storm activity in the Atlantic has begun in late May in recent years.
