The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA; pronounced , like "Noah") is an American scientific agency within the United States Department of Commerce that focuses on the conditions of the oceans and the atmosphere. NOAA warns of dangerous weather, charts seas, guides the use and protection of ocean and coastal resources and conducts research to provide understanding and improve stewardship of the environment. In addition to its over 11,000 civilian employees, NOAA research and operations are supported by 321 uniformed service members who make up the NOAA Commissioned Officer Corps. NOAA traces its history back to the convergence of multiple agencies: The United States Coastal and Geodetic Survey (founded in 1807), the Weather Bureau (1870) and the Bureau of Commercial Fisheries (1871). NOAA was officially formed in 1970. The acting Under Secretary of Commerce for Oceans and Atmosphere at the Department of Commerce and the agency's interim administrator has been Benjamin Friedman since the end of the Obama administration on January 20, 2017. Barry Myers, CEO of AccuWeather is proposed to be the next administrator.

Federal Report Says 2017 Shattered US Damage Record for Natural Disasters
Not surprising considering all that went down last year. News article here: Federal Report Says 2017 Shattered US Damage Record for Natural Disasters I tried finding the report, but NOAA's site just redirects to a boilerplate page saying the gov is shut down. I'll try later, I suppose.- Discussion Thread
