Protect Americans from Climate Disasters Act
This bill requires the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) to restore full staffing levels within 30 days of enactment, including reinstating employees terminated between January 20, 2025, and the bill's passage. It mandates the immediate reinstatement of specific NOAA programs, including the discontinued "Billion-Dollar Weather and Climate Disasters" product and two environmental databases tracking ocean currents and marine buoys. The bill allocates $6.756 billion in funding for NOAA's operations through fiscal year 2026 to support these staffing and program restorations. It directly affects NOAA employees, state/local emergency response efforts, and the public relying on NOAA's weather forecasting and disaster data for safety planning.
