Establish a national week to educate the public about the dangers and risks of extreme heat events.
One policy goal, tracked across every bill that has carried it.
What’s happening with this effort?
The effort to establish a national heat awareness week is represented by H.Res. 1361, which has been in the House Committee on Energy and Commerce and the Committee on Science, Space, and Technology since June 10, 2026. These committees must act to move the resolution forward, but the binding constraint is that most bills do not receive a committee vote. Historically, the vast majority of such proposals end due to committee inaction rather than a formal vote.
