Calmer hurricane season expected in Atlantic as worries over federal response persist

Experts are forecasting a quieter hurricane season in the Atlantic, which is a positive sign given past years' destructive storms. However, the reduced activity shouldn't lower guard, as even one major storm could cause substantial damage. This comes amid concerns over potential federal funding cuts for climate and emergency response agencies, raising worries about the nation's preparedness and ability to manage future disasters. It's a crucial reminder of the need for consistent support to ensure effective response and mitigation strategies.
