Plain-English Summary

This bill would establish a coordinated federal plan to help communities prepare for and respond to dangerous heat waves, likely including improved warning systems, funding for cooling centers, and resources to protect vulnerable populations like elderly people and outdoor workers. The legislation aims to reduce heat-related deaths and illnesses by ensuring different government agencies work together on heat preparedness rather than acting separately. It would affect public health agencies, state and local governments, and communities most vulnerable to extreme temperatures.
