Bill Summary
A BILL To reduce the health risks of heat by establishing the National Integrated Heat Health Information System within the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the National Integrated Heat Health Information System Interagency Committee to improve extreme heat preparedness, planning, and response, and for other purposes.
AI Summary
This bill establishes the National Integrated Heat Health Information System (NIHHIS) within the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) to address the growing health risks associated with extreme heat. The bill creates a comprehensive interagency committee comprising representatives from over 16 federal agencies, including the Department of Health and Human Services, Department of the Interior, Environmental Protection Agency, and others, to coordinate a unified approach to heat-related health challenges. The committee will develop a 5-year strategic plan to improve data collection, research, and communication about heat-related health impacts, with a focus on understanding and mitigating risks across various timescales and scenarios. Key responsibilities include developing tools for heat-health impact prediction, supporting research programs, and consulting with diverse stakeholders such as regional governments, research institutions, and medical experts. The system aims to provide improved data, forecasts, and warnings about temperature and extreme heat, with a goal of reducing health risks and supporting evidence-based decision-making. The bill authorizes $5 million annually from fiscal years 2025 through 2029 to support these efforts, and mandates that all collected data be fully and openly available to maximize its potential use in addressing heat-related health challenges.
