Experts are alarmed over the large-scale staff reductions, travel and training restrictions and grant cut-offs.

FEMA canceled various emergency management trainings this spring , moved others online and restricted travel to events such as the National Hurricane Conference .

About 2,000 full-time staff have left FEMA since Trump took office in January , a loss of roughly one-third of the agency’s staff.

A sizable chunk of the weather service’s 121 local field offices as of late March had vacancy rates of more than 20% .

“It should be all hands on deck and we’re being hollowed out,” former NWS director Louis Uccellini said.

The National Hurricane Center , which tracks and warns of hurricanes in the Atlantic , Pacific and Caribbean , has been spared.
