Creates Code Red alert pilot program to shelter at-risk individuals during hot weather.
AI Summary
This bill creates a three-year pilot program for counties to establish a Code Red alert system to provide communication, emergency cooling centers, and transportation for at-risk individuals, such as those living outdoors or in poorly insulated settings, during extreme heat events. The bill requires counties to coordinate with municipal emergency management coordinators and allows volunteer-organized Code Red efforts to receive support. The State Office of Emergency Management will submit a report on the success and challenges of the pilot program to determine whether to make it permanent. The bill also provides liability protections for those involved in establishing or implementing the Code Red alert plan.
