Coordinated Federal Response to Extreme Heat Act of 2025

Key Points

• This bill creates a new national system to help the government better predict and respond to extreme heat. It brings together experts from many agencies like the weather service, health departments, and emergency management to work as one team.
• The goal is to provide clearer warnings and better information to the public during heat waves. This will help people know when they are at risk and what steps they should take to stay safe in their homes and workplaces.
• A new committee will create a five-year plan to improve how the country handles heat-related illnesses and deaths. They will look for ways to fund local heat planning and share data more effectively across different states and tribes.
• The plan focuses on long-term preparedness instead of just reacting to emergencies. It aims to protect vulnerable groups, including outdoor workers, veterans, and people living in cities that get much hotter than surrounding areas.
• If passed, the government would spend $5 million each year through 2029 to run these programs. This money will support research into heat-health risks and the development of new tools to help save lives during record-breaking temperatures.
