And while the president has directed all needed federal assistance in this
case, making no mention of sequestration, cuts to the FEMA and other
governmental programs could prove tricky in the weeks and months ahead.

.

Due to the massive cuts brought on by sequestration, the disaster relief
section of FEMA's budget will lose $1 billion this year. Following the
devastation from Hurricane Sandy earlier this year, FEMA Administrator
Craig Fugate said FEMA's Disaster Relief Fund would pay out a total of
$10.8 billion to storm victims by the end of the fiscal year. That would
leave $2.5 billion in its disaster fund for the rest of the year.

.

While testifying before Congress in March, he said he had concerns that
there would be enough money to help state and local governments that help
rebuild damaged infrastructure and public. Sequestration also cut $1.9
billion from transportation repair funding and other disaster programs.

.

Sequestration didn't just affect disaster relief. It will also cut 7
percent of the budget of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration, which runs the National Hurricane Center, the National
Weather Service and other weather detection programs.

.

With less funding to weather satellites, among other programs, NOAA's
forecasts for major storms, hurricanes and tornadoes could become less
reliable in the coming years. The National Weather Service is a key
resource for informing people of imminent storms.
