## Summary

This bill would create a **National Integrated Heat Health Information System (NIHHIS)** in NOAA to coordinate federal heat forecasting, data sharing, and community resilience work and would set up an interagency committee to align agency actions and tools. - Families and children: Would fund local resilience projects such as cooling centers, urban forestry, and community education to reduce heat exposure for children, older adults, and pregnant people. - Outdoor workers and people with limited cooling access: Would improve heat warnings, surveillance, and decision-support tools so employers and health officials have better forecasts and guidance to protect workers and vulnerable individuals. - Low-income and environmental justice communities: Would prioritize historically disadvantaged areas and require at least 40% of Community Heat Resilience Program funding go to communities with environmental justice concerns and low-income communities. - State, local, and Tribal governments and emergency managers: Would provide grants, centers of excellence, data access, and training to support local planning, emergency response, and reporting. *Would fund NOAA and related activities with authorized amounts including $20 million per year for NIHHIS operations for fiscal years 2026–2030, $0.5 million per year for the National Academies contract for fiscal years 2026–2028, and Community Heat Resilience Program funding of $10 million in 2026 and 2027, $20 million in 2028, and $30 million in 2029 and 2030.*
