Weathering the Storm: Policy, People, and Public Safety

In this episode of Weather Geeks, Jen Carfagno interviews Congressman Eric Sorensen, a former meteorologist, about the critical role of the National Weather Service in public safety, especially during severe weather events. They discuss the challenges faced by the National Weather Service, including staffing shortages and the need for bipartisan support for the Weather Workforce Improvement Act. Sorensen emphasizes the importance of meteorologists in Congress and proposes the creation of an NTSB for weather to learn from past disasters. The conversation also touches on FEMA's role in disaster response and the growing importance of flood insurance in the face of climate change.
