I know it's not the CDC ... but has anyone backed up NOAA's digital library?
Created in 2013, it has *all* the scientific reports, journal articles, guidelines and other info authored or co-authored by NOAA. Think Deepwater Horizon reports, etc.
I'm concerned.

Yesterday ~68 people employed in HHS's Administration for Children & Families early childhood offices were terminated. I'm told Office of Head Start lost ~20% of staff; Office of Child Care lost ~25%
These workers process grants for preschools/childcare centers, monitor health/safety issues, etc.
