“Review the Work of the National Hurricane Center and the National Environmental Satellite Service.”

What has happened

  1. Not started

    Nothing found. No review of the National Hurricane Center's work was announced or published, and none of the National Environmental Satellite, Data, and Information Service either. The FY2027 request proposes budget decreases labeled 'Streamlining of Satellite Operations' and 'Product Development, Readiness and Application Decrease' at NESDIS, which are cuts rather than the review the Quote asks for, and it proposes nothing at all for the Hurricane Center.

Research log

What was searched, and what didn’t count as evidence

Research notes

Negative search: grep -n -i "Hurricane Center" and grep -n -i "NESDIS" over the text-extracted FY2027 Congressional Justification (the Hurricane Center appears three times, all in ordinary program description; NESDIS appears throughout as a line office with the streamlining decreases named above); the same greps over the FY2026 Justification; a jq pass over the 1,589 in-window Federal Register records whose agency is NOAA, filtered for Hurricane|Satellite|NESDIS; and presidential-actions.ndjson for hurricane and satellite.

The budget lines are attached to the event because they are the only dated Primary action touching either body, and §3b’s “moved the other way / measured on this ask” reading puts them in the note rather than in the Status.
