Quiver AI Summary

On July 17, 2025, U.S. Senator Jacky Rosen (D-NV) introduced the Extreme Heat Emergency Act, aiming to classify extreme heat as a major disaster eligible for federal aid under the Stafford Act. Rosen stated, “Current federal policy ignores the physical and health risks... from such extremely high temperatures,” highlighting the urgent need for federal resources to combat heat-related crises.

The bill seeks to enable communities affected by extreme heat to access funding and resources similar to those available for disasters like hurricanes and floods. As reported, Nevada has already seen significant heat-related fatalities and health impacts, emphasizing the critical nature of this legislative proposal.

This measure is co-sponsored by Senator Ruben Gallego (D-AZ) and Congresswoman Sylvia Garcia (D-TX) and aims to enhance our nation's preparedness for future extreme weather events. Rosen noted that without legislative action, communities face ongoing challenges in managing the health impacts of extreme heat.
