Extreme Weather and Heat Response Modernization Act
Key claim: The Extreme Weather and Heat Response Modernization Act (HR3661) is a 119th Congress bill referred to committee to modernize federal extreme weather and heat response.
Abstract
(HR3661 · 119th Congress) Latest action (2025-05-30): Referred to the Subcommittee on Economic Development, Public Buildings, and Emergency Management.
Why this matters
Federal extreme weather and heat response cuts across FEMA disaster programs, public health, building standards, and grid reliability during heat events — all cost and permitting pressure points in this area. Tracking HR3661 alongside related heat and disaster response measures helps map whether Congress moves from titled intent to enacted mechanisms with measurable effects on adaptation costs and outcomes.
