Airports are not the only government shutdown victims

NBC News - The partial government shutdown is affecting more than just airports. Among the other agencies enduring the consequences of a shutdown:

→ FEMA's Disaster Relief Fund is rapidly depleting, the agency said. If the fund is depleted, FEMA will be unable to fund many disaster recovery efforts. 

→ DHS's Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency has scaled back or paused its work to reduce systemic risk over time and make proactive assessments, among other initiatives, said Nicholas Andersen, the agency's acting and deputy director.

→ And the Coast Guard has not had enough funding to operate and pay its workers for 85 of the past 176 days. It also can't pay over 5,000 utility accounts, "putting us in danger of widespread shutdowns to critical infrastructure," said Adm. Thomas Allen, Coast Guard vice commandant.

Senate Majority Leader John Thune said he has not made a final decision about whether senators will leave for their two-week recess at the end of the week if there is no deal.  More
