National drill for extreme cold and terrorism
This bill would require Homeland Security to run a national exercise on terrorism during extreme cold. The drill would test how failures in critical services, like power and heat, could spread. Federal, State, local, Tribal, and territorial agencies, companies, and community groups would take part. It would focus on how emergency managers reduce harm and make communities more resilient. Within 60 days after the drill, the Secretary would send an after-action report to the House and Senate homeland security committees. It would include findings, how lessons would be used, and any proposed law changes. The report would protect classified information.
