Congressman Flood Seeks Answers for National Weather Service Staffing Challenges

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, U.S. Congressman Mike Flood issued a statement following news that the National Weather Service (NWS) was facing staffing challenges in Nebraska.

“Over the years, the National Weather Service has issued regular weather forecasts across the country. Recent reporting has indicated that their offices in Nebraska have experienced staffing challenges that are impacting their ability to provide high quality forecasts. I’ve reached out to the NWS to learn more about this issue. Through flooding, blizzards, tornadoes, and more, Nebraskans have relied on forecasts from the NWS and it is my hope to see the agency continue to serve Nebraska well for many years to come.”
