## Summary

**A National Integrated Heat Health Information System (NIHHIS) to reduce heat-related illness and death.** This bill would create NIHHIS inside NOAA and a National Integrated Heat Health Information System Interagency Committee to coordinate forecasting, data sharing, research, public warnings, and community grants aimed at planning, preparedness, and response for extreme heat. - Communities and families: Would fund local resilience projects like cool roofs, tree planting, cooling centers, building retrofits, and grid resilience. The Community Heat Resilience Program must direct not less than 40 percent of annual funding to environmental-justice or low-income communities. - Workers and vulnerable populations: Would support training, workplace policies, outreach, and local planning to protect outdoor workers, older adults, people experiencing homelessness, incarcerated people, children, pregnant people, and others with limited cooling access. - Public health, researchers, and planners: Would require FAIR and CARE-aligned data stewardship, create a Director and a research grant program, and commission a National Academies study on heat information and response to be completed within 3 years to identify data and policy gaps. *Would authorize about $201.5 million in federal funding across FY2026–2030, increasing federal outlays during that period.*

## Provisions PRIA read

- Funding for heat programs, 2026–2030: benefit, high. The bill would authorize funding, subject to appropriations. NIHHIS and its committee would receive $20 million each year for FY2026–FY2030. A National Academies study would receive $500,000 each year for FY2026–FY2028. The Community Heat Resilience Program would receive $10 million (FY2026), $10 m…
- Heat resilience grants for local communities: benefit, medium. Within one year, the NIHHIS Director would start a Community Heat Resilience Program. It would give grants, prizes, or contracts to states, Tribes, cities, nonprofits, workforce boards, and schools. Projects could fund cool roofs and pavements, trees, shade, cooling centers, and building AC upgrade…
- National heat-risk data and alerts: benefit, medium. This would create a National Integrated Heat Health Information System at NOAA. A Director would lead it, share open data, and coordinate with many agencies. An interagency committee would meet at least quarterly, with initial co-chairs from NOAA, HHS, and FEMA. The system would improve forecasts,…
- National study on extreme heat: benefit, medium. Within 120 days, NOAA would seek a National Academies study on extreme heat. The study would finish within three years. It would map policy and data gaps, including counts of public buildings without AC and who is most affected. Within 90 days of completion, the report would be public and sent to C…
- Standard definitions for heat response: benefit, low. The bill would define a heat event as extreme heat that lasts two days or more. It would also define which places count as communities with environmental justice concerns. Agencies would use these terms to trigger heat plans and to target funding.
