Action Alert: The National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) is at Risk and so is the Yuba
As storms intensify and flood warnings reach Northern California, one thing is clear: accurate weather forecasting saves lives. That’s why SYRCL is raising the alarm.
The White House has announced plans to dismantle the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) — a cornerstone of weather and climate science that directly supports flood forecasting, wildfire preparedness, dam operations, and emergency planning across the Yuba watershed.
NCAR’s models help predict:
- Floods, severe storms, heat waves, and wildfires
- Conditions emergency managers rely on to protect communities
- Climate patterns farmers and water managers depend on
Breaking NCAR apart weakens forecasting accuracy at the exact moment climate disasters are becoming more frequent and more dangerous.
