So basically they will release money when kids start dying maybe.
NOAA is now clear to proceed with both volumes of what is known as Atlas 15, which will show people their flash flood risk now and in a warming world, through FY 2026. www.cnn.com/2025/07/18/w...
Clear to proceed on Atlas 15 under the guidance that it be "based exclusively on historical precipitation gauge data observations" and that it removes "speculation" look like *very* clear markers that it won't be using climate change projections to show flood risk. This is anti-adaptation.
Congrats to the administration on doing their job.
