Bill overview
The Preventing HEAT Illness and Deaths Act of 2024 aims to reduce the health risks associated with extreme heat by establishing a national system for tracking and forecasting heat events. The bill creates an interagency committee to coordinate research, develop a national heat health information system, and provide financial assistance to communities, academic institutions, and state/local governments to implement heat mitigation strategies. It also mandates a study to identify policy gaps and improve response efforts, particularly focusing on vulnerable populations and environmental justice concerns.
