Project 2025 proposes dismantling the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Some social media posts misleadingly claim the project calls for closing the National Hurricane Center, a part of NOAA.

The claim is false. Project 2025’s Mandate for Leadership does propose sweeping changes to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), but it does not advocate for eliminating the National Hurricane Center (NHC).

The policy blueprint for a Republican administration says the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration ‘should be broken up and downsized’

The conservative playbook's suggested changes to NOAA, NWS, and FEMA, will likely diminish federal responses to natural disasters.
