Preventing HEAT Illness and Deaths Act of 2021
Bill: H.R.5296 | Sponsor: Rep. Crist, Charlie (D-FL)
Policy area: Health

Summary:
Preventing Health Emergencies And Temperature-related Illness and Deaths Act of 2021 or the Preventing HEAT Illness and Deaths Act of 2021
This bill provides statutory authority for, and otherwise revises, the National Integrated Heat Health Information System Program to improve the capacity of the United States to prepare for, adapt to, and mitigate health risks of extreme heat. The Office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) must carry out this program. (Currently, the program is jointly administered by NOAA and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.)
Under the bill, the program may provide financial assistance for projects to increase awareness, education, and research about extreme heat events and mitigate the human health impacts of those events. In awarding the assistance, the program must prioritize historically disadvantaged communities and communities with significant heat disparities associated with race or income. Other components of the program include grants for research on climate and health and a study of relevant policy, research, and data gaps concerning extreme heat information and response.
The bill also establishes an interagency committee within the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy to develop a strategic plan and otherwise coordinate federal activities related to the program.

To reduce the health risks of heat by establishing the National 
 Integrated Heat Health Information System Program within the National 
Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the National Integrated Heat 
Health Information System Interagency Committee to improve extreme heat 
     preparedness, planning, and response, requiring a study, and 
establishing financial assistance programs to address heat effects, and 
                          for other purposes.

    Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the 
United States of America in Congress assembled,

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Preventing Health Emergencies And 
Temperature-related Illness and Deaths Act of 2021'' or the 
``Preventing HEAT Illness and Deaths Act of 2021''.

SEC. 2. DEFINITIONS.

    In this Act:
            (1) Environmental justice community.--The term 
        ``environmental justice community'' means a community with 
        significant representation of communities of color, low-income 
        communities, or Tribal and indigenous communities, that 
        experiences, or is at risk of experiencing, higher or more 
        adverse human health or environmental effects, as compared to 
        other communities.
            (2) Extreme heat.--The term ``extreme heat'' means heat 
        that exceeds local climatological norms in terms of any 
        combination of the following:
                    (A) Duration.
                    (B) Intensity.
                    (C) Season length.
                    (D) Frequency.
            (3) Heat.--The term ``heat'' means any combination of the 
        parameters associated with modulating human thermal regulation, 
        such as air temperature, humidity, solar exposure, and wind 
        speed.
            (4) Heat event.--The term ``heat event'' means an 
        occurrence of extreme heat that may have heat-health 
        implications.
            (5) Heat-health.--The term ``heat-health'' means health 
        effects to humans from heat, during or outside of heat events, 
        including from vulnerability and exposure, or the risk of such 
        effects.
            (6) Planning.--The term ``planning'' means activities 
        performed across timescales (including days, weeks, months, 
        years, and decades) with scenario-based, probabilistic or 
        deterministic information to identify and take actions to 
        proactively mitigate heat-health risks from increased frequency 
        and intensity of heat waves and increased ambient temperature.
            (7) Preparedness.--The term ``preparedness'' means 
        activities performed across timescales (including days, weeks, 
        months, years, and decades) with probabilistic or deterministic 
        information to manage risk in advance of a heat event.
            (8) Urban heat island.--The term ``urban heat island'' 
        means the phenomenon observed in urbanized areas in which heat 
        is more extreme than in the surrounding exurban areas and heat 
        is heterogeneously distributed within urbanized areas, due to 
        factors including--
                    (A) low albedo and impervious surfaces;
                    (B) low vegetation coverage; and
                    (C) waste heat produced in urban areas.

SEC. 3. FINDINGS.

    Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) Extreme heat events have been the leading cause of 
        weather-related death in the United States over the last 30 
        years, according to the Centers for Disease Control and 
        Prevention and the National Weather Service.
            (2) The fourth National Climate Assessment, mandated by the 
        Global Change Research Act of 1990 (15 U.S.C. 2921 et seq.), 
        finds that during the next few decades, annual average 
        temperature over the contiguous United States is projected to 
        increase by a further 2.2F relative to current temperatures, 
        regardless of future scenarios. The National Climate Assessment 
        projects that the frequency and intensity of extreme heat 
        events will increase in the future as global temperature 
        increases.
            (3) Exposure to extreme heat can cause acute heat-related 
        illnesses, such as heat stroke, which result in more than 
        65,000 emergency room visits each year and exacerbate 
        respiratory and cardiovascular illnesses.
            (4) Heat poses the greatest health risks for adults older 
        than 65 years of age, pregnant people, young children, low-
        income communities, urban communities, communities with low air 
        conditioning prevalence, socially isolated individuals, people 
        with mental or physical disabilities, people with underlying 
        medical conditions, agricultural or other outdoor workers, 
        workers without sufficient access to cooling, athletes, 
        incarcerated individuals, people experiencing homelessness, and 
        military personnel.
            (5) Increasingly common environmental exposures exacerbated 
        by climate change, such as extreme heat, are significantly 
        associated with serious adverse pregnancy outcomes across the 
        United States. Those adverse pregnancy outcomes 
        disproportionately impact Black mothers.
            (6) Heat exposure is an issue of environmental justice, as 
        people living in low-income communities, communities of color, 
        and Tribal communities face a number of interacting factors 
        that render them more vulnerable to extreme heat.
            (7) The impacts of heat on human health are more severe in 
        urban areas where land surface properties create an urban heat 
        island, particularly in neighborhoods with limited availability 
        of or access to green spaces, shade, and tree cover, higher 
        density of building structures, and more vehicular traffic.
            (8) Limited availability of tree cover and higher 
        temperatures are correlated with low-income neighborhoods in 
        urban areas. In Richmond, Virginia, Baltimore, Maryland, and 
        Washington, DC, researchers found that heat risk is 
        disproportionately distributed to communities of color in 
        patterns associated with segregation and redlining.
            (9) Researchers have found that few communities in the 
        United States have sufficient climate and health information, 
        guidance, and resources for heat planning, preparedness, and 
        response.
            (10) The risks associated with extreme heat have complex 
        interactions and impacts, and the management of those risks 
        requires a transdisciplinary approach.
            (11) Regions, communities, and populations that face the 
        greatest health consequences of extreme heat often may 
        experience the lowest heat risk perceptions, have limited 
        incentives, or have access to the fewest resources for 
        responding to extreme heat, and as such, may be less likely to 
        take precautions.
            (12) Research on the impacts of extreme heat on human 
        health and the effectiveness of solutions under varying 
        climate, social, and other contexts is stymied by a lack of 
        access to reliable, timely health observations and surveillance 
        due to proprietary data rights, expense, privacy and security 
        concerns, inconsistent reporting of health outcomes and 
        contributory factors, poor data integration and 
        interoperability, few incentives and little systematic 
        coordination to address those problems, and a lack of adequate 
        climate observation, modeling, and assessment in urban, indoor, 
        and occupational settings.
            (13) Integrated climate and health research and 
        information, when developed in a collaborative, 
        transdisciplinary manner, can inform long- and medium-range 
        scenario-based planning and decision making to protect 
        vulnerable communities and populations from extreme heat, 
        reduce exposure to extreme heat, and address factors that 
        increase vulnerability.
            (14) Heat action plans and early warning systems can reduce 
        heat-related morbidity and mortality by clearly identifying 
        roles and responsibilities as well as evidence-based actions 
        and thresholds to enhance preparedness, and by promoting 
        behavior changes and actions taken by local governments, 
        communities, and individuals through awareness and increased 
        risk perception among those most vulnerable to the health 
        impacts of heat.
