This event involves termination of a federal disaster preparedness grant program with specific impact on infrastructure projects ($50M levee/tsunami protection). Constitutional damage is moderate: rule_of_law (2) for unilateral program termination without clear legislative mandate, separation (1) for executive discretion over appropriated funds, civil_rights (2) for differential impact on vulnerable coastal communities, capture (3) for potential redirection of disaster funds serving narrow interests, corruption (1) for opacity in reallocation decisions. Resource_reallocation mechanism adds 15% modifier, federal scope adds 10%. Severity: durability 1.1 (requires new admin to restore), reversibility 0.95 (relatively easy to reinstate), precedent 1.05 (modest precedent for defunding preparedness). Base 9 × 1.1 × 1.15 × 1.1 = 12.6. Hype score: Layer1 (24/40 × 55% = 13.2) driven by outrage over disaster vulnerability and media-friendly local impact stories. Layer2 (22/40 × 45% = 4.9) shows mismatch between routine budget action and catastrophic framing, pattern-matches broader federal cuts narrative. Intentionality 6/15 (0.13 weight) adds modest strategic component. Final B = 18.1. Both scores below 25 threshold, D = -5.5 (slight hype lean but not significant). This is a routine administrative budget reallocation with localized impact, highly reversible, lacking clear constitutional mechanism beyond normal executive discretion over grant programs. Classified as Noise despite emotional framing around disaster vulnerability.
