President Donald Trump’s nominee to head NOAA pledged Wednesday to fully staff the National Weather Service, after catastrophic Texas floods triggered a new wave of criticism over the president’s deep cuts across government.

Now Neil Jacobs, President Donald Trump’s pick to run the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, which oversees NWS, says that he’ll make “staffing the Weather Service offices a top priority” if he’s confirmed.

Neil Jacobs, tapped to lead NOAA, called for sharper forecasting tools and clearer public alerts, just days after flooding in Texas left more than 100 dead.
