Plain-English Summary

The legislation would establish federal procedures and resources to help communities respond to dangerous heat waves, similar to how the government currently handles other natural disasters like hurricanes and floods. It would likely provide emergency funding, coordination between federal agencies, and support for affected workers, elderly people, and vulnerable populations during extreme heat events. The bill aims to treat severe heat as a serious public health emergency requiring the same level of government preparation and response as other major disasters.
