DOGE cut a CDC team as it was about to start a project to help N.C. flood victims

April 15, 2025
Six months after Hurricane Helene, the landscape of western North Carolina is still scarred. A team of CDC workers was about to go door to door to check on people when they lost their jobs.

The National Center for Environmental Health was hollowed out in the cuts of 10,000 federal health workers on April 1. That's the same day an assessment of people hurt in floods was set to begin.
