"Project 2025 calls for breaking up and privatizing big parts of the National Weather Service (NWS), eliminating small business disaster loans and raising the threshold for disaster declarations," John Favreau said on the Pod Save America podcast.
The document also states: "Commercialization of weather technologies should be prioritized to ensure that taxpayer dollars are invested in the most cost-efficient technologies for high quality research and weather data." It also says that the NWS should become a "performance-based organization."
Two pages of Project 2025 cover FEMA. According to Scientific America, two of the main changes outlined would be ending its flood insurance program and replacing it "with private insurance," eliminating annual grants to states that began after the 9/11 terrorist attacks to improve domestic security and preparedness. Both of these proposals could limit disaster aid and increase insurance costs.
