The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) on Tuesday confirmed to The National News Desk it is beginning the process of rehiring for positions which were gutted by cuts from the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
DOGE in February entered NOAA offices days before the National Weather Service (NWS) announced a slew of job cuts. It now plans to begin filling these openings ahead of the approaching hurricane season.
“NOAA leadership is taking steps to address those who took a voluntary early retirement option,” a spokesperson wrote via email. “NWS continues to conduct short-term Temporary Duty assignments (TDYs), and is in the process of conducting a series of Reassignment Opportunity Notices (RONs) to fill roles at NWS field locations with the greatest operational need.”
