“For the people who have worked for Noaa, who are career employees. Thank you for your service. We could not know all the things we do to the world around us. Thank you for your curiosity and for your optimism and I am so sick of all the bullies in this world that benefit from the kind of people we are and that you are. “

:: Hendrick Simoes, former Noaa employee
“Noaa influences every aspect of people in America, good. I think that many people know Noaa for the weather warnings and following hurricane and tornado warnings. And that is all super important. That stuff saves lives. And don't get me wrong, that will be influenced. I think we now live in a less safer society, you know, and we are now much more vulnerable to extreme weather because of these effects. “
In Silver Spring, Maryland, demonstrators gathered under the slogan “Save Noaa Now!”, Called for the restoration of ended employees.
The dismissals, which affected hundreds of NOAA employees last week, come if the Bureau continues to offer essential weather forecast and hurricane warnings for the country.
